WARWICK, R.I. -- It looks like the Ward One council race is still not decided.

A count of mail ballots Thursday gave incumbent Republican Councilman Steven Colantuono a 19-vote win over Democratic challenger Sharon Ahearn.

But Ahearn said Friday that she will ask for a recount since the race is so close and that the mail ballots made it even closer.

On election night, before mail ballots were counted, Colantuono, who is seeking his third term, had a 29-vote lead over Ahearn.

Colantuono is the sole Republican on the council.
