East Oregonian
It’s a cliché, but it’s true: Every
vote counts.
In the race for the Confed-
erated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation’s vice chair
of the Board of Trustees, incum-
bent Jeremy Wolf received 370
votes and challenger Shana
Radford also received 370 votes.
Chuck Sams, CTUIR spokes-
person, said when the results came
back Tuesday night, chair of the
elections commission Andrea Hall
started an instant recount.
“As soon as they saw there was
a tie, they did a hand recount,”
Sams said. “That took almost
another two hours.”
The count confi rmed the
deadlock. Sams said tribal code
calls for a runoff election to fi ll
the seat. The election commission
has to provide 90 days notice in
advance of the runoff, which
includes absentee voting. The
