Recount Underway in Pryce-Kilroy RaceDec 06 2006 6:56AMThe recount is on in the Congressional race between Deborah Pryce and Mary Jo Kilroy. The original results after provisional ballots have Pryce, the Republican incumbent, beating Kilroy the Democrat by just 1,055 votes. Elections workers started recounting some 19,000 votes Tuesday morning by hand. They'll compare those to the computer tallied results. The recount should be completed by December 15th. The campaign for Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy has sued one of three elections boards conducting a recount in her race. The Kilroy camp is asking for the names of voters whose provisional ballots were rejected by the Franklin County Board of Elections. The campaign says it doesn't want to view the roughly 26-hundred ballots, but check whether they were rejected in error. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Franklin County Common Pleas Court in Columbus. The Associated Press contributed to this report. |
