About the Senate recount vote totals

Last update: April 3, 2009 - 12:17 PM

The margin reflects results from:

  • Unchallenged ballots counted during the statewide hand recount.
  • Challenged ballots that the state canvassing board reviewed and awarded. These include challenges that the campaigns withdrew during the process.
  • 933 rejected absentee ballots. These are ballots that the campaigns agreed should be counted during the canvassing process.
