2nd Congressional District Primary
Recount Continues
AUGUSTA--The recount for the Republican
Primary in the Second Congressional District continued today under the
supervision of the Secretary of State's Office at the State Police Barracks
in Augusta. Updated recount results as of 5:00 p.m. on June 26th are
attached. These results include recount totals for Piscataquis, Washington
and Somerset Counties. The recount will continue until ballots from
all 390 municipalities that comprise the Second Congressional District
have been reviewed.
After 2 days of reviewing ballots from six counties,
the vote difference between the two candidates has been reduced to 321;
however, Kevin Raye retains his lead over Timothy Woodcock.
Election night totals were as follows: Kevin L. Raye,
11,870; and Timothy C. Woodcock, 11,460. The recount was requested by
Timothy Woodcock, the second place candidate. The candidates were separated
on election night by a 410 vote margin.
All recounts are conducted in a secure State Police
building on Hospital Street in Augusta. Recounts are public proceedings.
Members of the public and media may attend to observe, as space allows.
State law requires the State Police to collect the ballots for the recounts
and keep them in the secured State Police facility until a recount has
been completed. The ballots are stored in tamperproof metal containers
and are closed with specially numbered security seals and locks.
In a recount, the representatives of each candidate
and the staff of the Secretary of State manually review each ballot
to determine the official vote tally. Recounts are requested based upon
the unofficial initial results, sometimes called the apparent results.
In a primary election, if the recount produces enough
disputed ballots to affect the election result, the Supreme Judicial
Court must review the ballots and determine the outcome of the election.
This procedure is set forth in Maine law.
