(WGTD)---A recount has affirmed the victory of Jamie McClendon in the Apr. 1 race for Racine County judge.
McClendon's election night margin over incumbent Jon Fredrickson was just 55 votes.
In the recount, Fredrickson picked up 8 votes--not enough to erase McClendon's winning margin.
Frederickson was appointed to the bench in 2018 by former Gov. Scott Walker. He then won a full term the following year.
McClendon is a former state public defender who moved over to the private sector.
She's expected to take office Aug. 1.
