Otoe County Election Commissioner Janene Bennett has declared an automatic recount in the race for District 4 county board as a single vote separates incumbent Tim Nelsen and Otoe County Deputy Sheriff James Parsons.
Nelsen received 251 votes and Parsons 250. There was one write-in candidate and Bennett said she will inspect the ballot to see if the voter by chance indicated either Nelsen or Parsons.
The Republican candidate will face Democrat Paul Wallman in the general election.
