TWO VERY CLOSE RACES FROM THIS YEAR’S PRIMARY ELECTION WILL UNDERGO OFFICIAL RECOUNTS. THAT WAS THE DECISION TUESDAY FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE’S OFFICE. THOSE CONTESTS WERE THE REPUBLICAN RACE FOR THE PRC IN DISTRICT 5 AND THE DEMOCRATIC CONTEST FOR STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 27.
STATE LAW REQUIRES AUTOMATIC RECOUNTS IF THE TWO TO VOTE GETTERS ARE SEPARATED BY LESS THAN ONE PERCENT OF THE VOTE. THE SECRETARY OF STATE’S OFFICE HAS CERTIFIED ALL THE REMAINING PRIMARY RESULTS.
