A recount of Indiana's 23rd Senate district primary has flipped the race in favor of a Trump-backed Republican who sought to oust an incumbent lawmaker who opposed redistricting.
State Sen. Spencer Deery, R, emerged narrowly ahead on primary night, but the recount has seen the race flip to Paula Copenhaver, local outlet WRTV reported.
President Donald Trump backed primary challengers to eight Indiana senators who refused his push to redistrict the state, resulting in six of them losing their seats on primary night. Copenhaver's eventual win puts the figure at seven ousted.
Deery led by three votes before the recount, which found Copenhaver ahead by the same amount.

This was the results after election night:
Too close to call
S. Deery 6,334 50.0%
P. Copenhaver 6,331 50.0%
We actually won a recount?!
“We actually won a recount?!”
Yep! Can you believe it? Shocking!

Now that’s a CLOSE race!
It took 11 weeks. They jumped right on it
Makes me wonder if the MAGA candidate is actually MAGA.
Here you can read about the issues of importance to the candidates:
Maybe we finally won one of these. I’m thinking it is possible Trump sent people there to watch this one get counted.
That’s wonderful. And funny!
On education the RINO (Deery) wants to throw more money at the problem. The MAGA candidate (Paula Copenhaver) wants to get back to teaching the basics, less government involvement, and ensuring parents have a say in their child’s education.

“...eight Indiana senators who refused his push to redistrict the state...”
I listened to some of that debate before the vote. Talk about grandstanding and making themselves out to be paragons of virtue — the world had never seen the likes of them — they quoted scripture and gallons of blood flowed from their wounded hearts.
It is satisfying to see their sorry asses turned out.
Yep we finally won a recount BUT it was against another Republican. Very different story when we do recounts against Democrats. We’re probably 0-100 on that stat.
I know.
It must be the end of the world.
Democrat David Sanders looks like he comes from a tv sitcome.
The article doesn’t ever say who WAS Trump-backed Republican?

Well they called her an insurgent, does that count?
