Cambridge is going to have to go through its long counting of City Council election returns all over again.
Defeated Council candidate Leonard J. Russell has filed a valid petition for a recount. Russell finished tenth in the race for nine council seats: he was 79 votes behind incumbent Thomas H.D. Mahoney when counted out of the race.
None of the defeated candidates for School Committee has asked for a recount of that race.
The recount probably will not make any difference in the results of the Council race. Cambridge Election Commission officials said yesterday that the few recounts done here in the past have only confirmed the initial outcomes of the disputed races.
