| Description | RACINE, Wis. (WSAU) - A recount which ended today shows that State Senate Republican Van Wanggaard of Racine lost his June fifth recall election by 819 votes – and not the 834 votes that an official canvass revealed.
Wanggaard still trails Democrat John Lehman by more than one-percent out of 72-thousand votes cast. But Wanggaard said the recount revealed quote, “even more suspicious activity.” And he said he wants to weigh his options before deciding whether to challenge the recount in court. If Lehman is the final winner, the Senate’s majority will go to the Democrats, at least until the scheduled fall elections. |
