It took four rounds of voting, and multiple Akron City Council members changing who they voted for, before applicant Mark Greer came from behind and reached the seven-vote threshold necessary to fill the at-large council seat vacated by Jeff Fusco in March. While the round-by-round tallies of the paper ballots were announced as they were counted — applicant George Johnson remained one vote shy of a majority in the first three rounds before Greer overtook him in the fourth — it was not publicly disclosed which council members voted for which candidates. Nor was it clear who changed their votes along the way.
