| Description | A hand recount of more than 3,000 paper ballots in a hotly contested Anne Arundel County legislative race confirmed conservative Del. Donald H. Dwyer Jr.'s razor-thin victory over Del. Joan Cadden, election officials said yesterday.
Dwyer, a Glen Burnie Republican, defeated Cadden, a Brooklyn Park Democrat, by 25 votes for the third and final spot in a three-member legislative district representing District 31, officials said. Dwyer received 17,558 votes to Cadden's 17,533 votes.
Cadden had challenged the official result, which gave Dwyer a 28-vote edge.

"I'm glad that this is over," said Dwyer, a social conservative who has stressed his opposition to gay marriage and abortion. "The main reason: The public was very confused. Here we are a month [after the election] and it was unclear as to who the winner was. After today, I hope that is clarified."
Dwyer, who had previously declared that his goal was to oust Cadden from office, said both candidates watched the recount at the elections annex in Glen Burnie. He said Cadden did not offer her concession or congratulations. Cadden could not be reached for comment yesterday evening. |
