TELFORD, Pa. — One woman, one vote has a double meaning in a Montgomery County township. A lengthy count and a very short margin have decided a Salford Township supervisor's race.

The race pitted 46-year-old Barbara Lynch against 64-year-old Donald Lodge, who's been on the three-member board for more than three decades.

After the vote count on Nov. 6 it appeared Lodge had won by more than 80 votes. Then Lynch got a call saying the tally was wrong and she had won. But absentee ballots had not been added.

Lynch didn't get the official word until Tuesday: when all votes were certified she won by just one vote, 346-345.

Lynch says her victory is a lesson "for anyone that thinks that a vote doesn't matter."
