Alaska: Whittier Mayor leads in recall, but still waiting on absentees

The result of the recall of Whittier Mayor Lester Lunceford is still up in the air. Lunceford is ahead 55-50, but there are 23 absentee ballots and 6 questioned ballots still to be counted.

Lunceford is facing a recall over the firing and hiring of a new city manager. Lunceford argued that the petitioners were simply embittered former council members.
