Another recount: Schneider seeks new tally in House race
Schneider
Joan Barry isn’t the only legislative candidate seeking a recount.
As we mentioned earlier, St. Charles County State Rep. Vicki Schneider — who lost her bid for re-election by just 74 votes — is also seeking a new tally.
The O’Fallon Republican was unseated by Democrat Kenny Biermann, a member of the Orchard Farm School Board.
Biermann netted 50.2 percent of the roughly 22,000 votes cast. Because Schneider lost by less than one percent, she is, under state law, entitled to request a recount, which she did earlier today.


That is about how many votes she won her first term by originally.
