On Friday, March 28 tentative election results were released, pending the opportunity for appeal. Results were released because a successful appeal would only affect the final number and percentage of votes received by the Pappalardo/Doerrer campaign, but did not affect the ability to declare an overall winner.
The Pappalardo/Doerred campaign did not submit an appeal of the Election Committee decision, therefore this decision is upheld. The results as released on Friday, March 28 are certified as the official election results:
MUSG PRESIDENT / EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT
Giuseppe Pappalardo & Billy Doerrer 879 42.6%
Ray Redlingshafer & Kathleen Blaney 1,137 55.1%
Election Rule Violation Penalties 46 2.2%
