JUNEAU, Alaska — Republican Bart LeBon has won an Alaska state House race by one vote after a ballot recount, officials said.
Before Friday’s recount, LeBon and Democrat Kathryn Dodge were tied with 2,661 votes apiece.
Recount results showed LeBon with 2,663 votes while Dodge had 2,662 votes, after LeBon picked up two votes and Dodge picked up one, according to the Alaska Division of Elections.
A much talked about mystery ballot found weeks ago on a table in a voting precinct ended up playing no role in the race outcome. The ballot was tossed Friday after officials said it was determined to be a spoiled ballot from a voter who had made a mistake on it, told officials and then filled out a new ballot.

Democrat accusations of cheating coming soon, I guess. They are the only ones who are supposed to win election disputes! Carved on stone somewhere in DNC Headquarters I think!

The actual margin (discounting Democrat vote fraud) was probably much more.

Could this be the only Republican to win a close recount this year? It seems as if every recount, late count and count of votes not made at polls have gone to the Democrat candidate.
Not saying this is a statistical impossibility, but if I believed in this being an accurate happenstance, I might also believe that the 49ers and the Raiders will meet in this year’s Super Bowl!

Well it was definitely a “spoiled ballot” if he voted for a Democrat.

A trifecta? Why, yes! And of course, every vote literally matters.
