| 2006-11-29 |
| COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 27 -- Rep. Deborah Pryce (R-Ohio) won reelection Monday by a margin so slim that a recount will be required. one trunk Unofficial results announced by Franklin County, the last to finish counting absentee and provisional ballots in central Ohio's 15th District, showed Pryce led Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy by 1,055 votes, or 0.4 percent of the vote. An automatic recount is triggered if the difference between the two candidates is less than 0.5 percent. The race was one of a handful that had remained unresolved across the country since Election Day. Pryce lost Franklin County, the district's most populous, but she retained her overall lead because of votes she picked up in two other counties. In North Carolina, election officials said a manual recount of randomly chosen precincts will take place Wednesday and Thursday in the 8th District race between Rep. Robin Hayes (R) and Democrat Larry Kissell. Hayes leads by 329 votes. two trunks And Florida officials will start an audit Tuesday of electronic voting machines in the 13th District House race between Republican Vern Buchanan and Democrat Christine Jennings. The state certified Buchanan the winner by 369 votes, but Jennings contested, arguing that touch-screen voting machines had malfunctioned. three trunks If the trunks are gonna steal elections, they should at least have the decency to steal by larger margins!

| #4 #3. Democratic challenger Patricia Madrid, trailing by fewer than 900 votes, on Tuesday conceded the 1st District contest to Republican Heather Wilson. But the NM Dems ain't done yet. They're considering a partial recount in the Democratic stronghold of Bernillo county. Thatt tactic didn't work for Gore. hope it doesn't work in NM either. |

| #3 NM 1st District was just settled by 800 and some odd votes in favor the Trunk. Unlike the other states, NM requires the challenger to pay for the recount, which was declined. Not that the Donks didn't try hard to fix it both by shorting predominate Trunk precincts of early voting stations and literally the paper ballots used in voting - 100 to one with 1,700 registered.
