All the ballots cast in Quebec for the Liberal leadership last weekend are being recounted.
According to three different leadership camps, the recount started Thursday afternoon after it was discovered that party officials in Quebec had incorrectly rejected blank ballots or those cast for candidates who've dropped out of the contest.
Party insiders said Thursday that
turnout was so low in the province — only about 10 per cent of eligible party members voted over the weekend — that reassigning a small number of rejected ballots could more than double the number of undeclared delegates.

Many surprises could be in store.
