Jim Sills at SD Rostra has the first newsbeat of the recount in the 40th District, as Juan Vargas tries to hold on to a 22 vote lead…
RECOUNT DAY 1….SALAS LOSES 1 VOTE IN SD REGISTRAR’S REPORT OF SD 40 MANUAL COUNT
Day 1 of the 40th state senate recount is over in San Diego county. Juan Vargas began the day leading by 22 votes overall in the 3-county district.
And the 1st Day recount figures from San Diego show that 13 precincts from Chula Vista and Coronado were checked for accuracy with a Manual (aka “Hand”) count vs. the original machine count.
The only change came in Coronado precinct 43900. The Registrar’s report states, “Challenged Ballot did not Count… (-1 Salas).” The report thus appears to show a net loss of 1 vote for Mary Salas on the day.
Meanwhile, Riverside county is also doing a recount, but no new results are available there to date.
