Crow Wing County Prepares for the Recount

The 36-thousand votes cast in Crow Wing County, in the Contested U.S. Senate race, will be recounted Thursday Morning at 9 a.m. Auditor Debra Erickson tells KLKS News, there will be 25 elections judges tabulating the ballots by hand. She expects little change in the results. Erickson says a recount in the county sheriff's race in 2006 showed only a four vote difference following the recount.

Elections officials will also be recounting the results of the House District 12 B race between incumbent Al Doty and Republican challenger Mike LeMieur. About five thousand votes were cast in Crow Wing County in that race.
