| Description | (Host) Votes from last week's primary election will be officially certified at the secretary of state's office later this morning.
But the results are already being challenged in court. Doug Racine filed legal papers yesterday asking for a recount of the Democratic race for governor.
As VPR's Ross Sneyd reports, that hasn't stopped the Democrats from campaigning. And campaigning together.
(Sneyd) For anyone who followed the long campaign for the Democratic nomination, the sight couldn't have been more jarring.
At a news conference in Burlington, Peter Shumlin, Doug Racine and Deb Markowitz stood shoulder to shoulder to take on Republican Brian Dubie.
(Shumlin) "Let me first be clear: It's the five of us working together. And Susan and Matt would be here if they could be."
(Sneyd) Shumlin is the apparent Democratic nominee, a winner by just 197 votes.
But Racine asked for the court-supervised recount of all the ballots.
They say it might appear awkward to an outside observer. But they characterize it as nothing unusual. |
