Frank Zonneveld, the incumbent board president of Laguna Irrigation District will retain his seat after a hotly contested race that ended with a dramatic flourish. The race initially ended in a tie of 101-101, what would have been Fresno County’s first tied race in 25 years. A recount sought by challenger Wes Harmon was abruptly halted Tuesday with one ballot outstanding. There was reason to believe it had been double counted, according to observers. But once the recount requestor asked for a halt, the race would have remained tied unless another voter in the district asked to restart the recount. That voter was Andrew Zonneveld, Frank Zonneveld’s son. Shortly after the restarted recount got underway Friday morning, Zonneveld was declared the winner by one vote.
