 A recount in the Itasca County Sheriff's election confirms Victor Williams as the winner. The recount was completed Monday. Brian Johnson gained one vote in the recount and Victor Williams lost two votes, but still won the election by 217 votes. Johnson paid for the recount because the original results were not close enough to trigger an automatic recount, which would have then been paid for by county taxpayers.
