The Mahanoy City election for mayor drew some attention when news came out that Dennis Wiessner had a conviction on his record from over 40 years. The election that took place has drawn a little more attention that the incumbent Nancy Petristsch only won by 3 votes!!
Weissner is not giving up the fight just yet. He has no asked for a recount. He told WNEP
“Anything mechanical can go wrong so hey, maybe we had too many write-ins, maybe not enough write-ins. I would like to see for sure what the results were.”
