500 uncounted ballots found in 7th District
GOLDEN (AP) - Jefferson County election officials discovered 500 uncounted ballots Monday in the still-undecided 7th Congressional District race, a television station reported.
KCNC-TV in Denver said the secretary of state’s office confirmed the discovery.
Results of a recount in the race between Republican Bob Beauprez and Democrat Mike Feeley were expected to be announced as early as today. Beauprez led by 122 votes out of about 170,200 cast after the initial count in the Nov. 5 election.
Jefferson County officials’ home phone numbers were not available and no one answered office phones late Monday.
The 7th District, carved out of the Denver metro area, was created this year because of population growth.
Yes, but they only changed the margin by one vote (for Feely)..
