After recounts Monday of the results of three Nov. 5 Saco City Council elections, the winners remain the same.

In Ward 1, the numbers didn’t budge. Candidate Cynthia Chadwick-Granger, who requested the recount, finished second in a three-way race for an open seat with 233 votes.

David Precourt won with 247 votes. Third-place candidate Margaret Mills didn’t ask for a recount of her 219 votes.

Ward 2 winner Leslie Smith Jr. and opponent Roger Gay also received the same number of votes as they did on Nov. 5 — 309 for Smith and 281 for Gay, who requested the recount.

The two-vote margin between the Ward 7 candidates grew to five votes after the recount.

Newcomer Nathan Johnston won with 180 votes. Incumbent Marston Lovell received 175.
