Recounts found Christian Caban to be the second place finisher - barely.

In the Leon County Commission District 2 race, Christian Caban still barely leads Lynda Bell for the second-place finish.

A machine recount followed by a hand recount left Caban with a 13-vote advantage over Bell.

That means Caban will take on Hannah Crow in November. Crow handily beat her opponents in the 7-person race with 26 percent of the vote. Bell and Caban were next with just over 15 percent each.

The District 2 seat was open following the death of Commissioner Jimbo Jackson. He died of COVID-19 complications in May.
