But there is some unfinished business.
A close election night finish in the Legislature s 24th District got even tighter with Wednesday s tallying of absentee ballots and is headed for a recount. Just nine votes separate Albert Blakely and Rajesh Barnabas, with Blakely now out front. We probably are going to have to re-canvass, re-count a few races, said Board of Elections Commissioner Lisa Nicolay.
In another close primary, Democrat incumbent County Court Judge Douglas Randall padded his lead over challenger and city school board President Van White. The margin of victory, however, at just less than .5 percentage points, also will trigger a recount, likely sometime next week.
