Buck loses recount in Georgia GOP schools race

The results are in: Mike Buck still lost the GOP race to be Georgia’s next schools superintendent.

Buck requested a recount Tuesday after the initial vote from the July 22 runoff election showed him trailing his opponent by 713 votes out of more than 398,000 cast.

But final recount results on Thursday showed only a vote gained in favor of Buck, the state’s current chief academic officer for the Georgia Department of Education.
