ITHACA, N.Y. (WHCU) — A recount has ended in four tight races in Tompkins County.

Three Democratic primaries for Ithaca Common Council and the race for Danby Town Clerk all ended in June with slim margins of fewer than 20 votes. It triggered a mandatory hand-by-hand recount, which ended Friday.

Democratic Elections Commissioner Stephen DeWitt tells WHCU there was no change in results.
