Dem wins recount in Carroll County

[maxanne]

For the first time since 1982, in Carroll County, a Democrat will be serving in the NH House!! Tom Buco of Conway won his recount today, beating Frank McCarthy (local nutcase) by 37 votes.

Tom worked hard and deserves this win! In 2006, I'll be doing the happy dance about more candidates, including myself, with any luck!

1. This is good news!

So far, I have read about Dems beating their opponents in two recounts: one in IN and now one in NH. Any others? Have Republicans picked up seats yet in this debacle?

CONCORD — In a recount, Democrat Claudia Chase of Francestown beat out Republican Dario A. Carrara of Greenfield by four votes in the New Hampshire House District 2 election, officials announced.

The original count had Carrara defeating Chase 1,555 to 1,523 votes. The recount recast 36 votes, and showed Chase to be the winner by a 1,523 to 1,519 margin over Carrara.

"There are a number of scenarios that could have caused that to happen, but we think that a number of straight ticket ballots being miscounted is the most likely answer," said Deputy Secretary of State David Scanlan.

The other winner emerging from the House District 2 race was incumbent Republican Jarvis Adams of Greenfield. His recounted total was 1,772 against an original count of 1,777 votes.
