Recount confirms Scott Soik's (R) election in Portage County District 19
STEVENS POINT – An April 15 recount of over 900 votes cast in Portage County District 19 found challenger Scott Soik to be the certified winner of the election for supervisor.
The certified number of votes for each candidate was found to be 445 for challenger and former District 19 supervisor Scott Soik and 442 for incumbent Amberle Schwartz, matching the unofficial results of the April 7 election previously posted by Portage County Clerk Maria Davis.
“This recount is a testament to the dedication of our local Municipal Clerks and poll workers throughout Portage County,” Davis said in a April 15 news release. The county previously conducted recounts in each of the last two county-wide elections in 2022 and 2024 for both Portage County executive and supervisor seats.
“This recount also affirms the accuracy and efficiency of the electronic equipment used within Portage County,” Davis added.
