The recent Board of Selectmen election may have been decided earlier this month, but the campaign is not quite over.

About a dozen people belonging to a group calling itself the Somerset Integrity Coalition stood outside Somerset town offices on Wood Street before the April 30 Board of Selectmen meeting, holding signs decrying what they say is “abuse of power,” “dirty politics” and a “cover up” in town regarding the recent election of Selectman Todd Costa.

On April 14, Costa defeated Thomas Mello for an open selectmen’s seat. Costa won with 1,174 to 1,157 votes, a difference of 17 votes.

There won’t be a recount, said Holly McNamara, a former selectman and part of a group calling itself the Somerset Integrity Coalition. But they’ve decided to challenge the election nonetheless.
