Secretary of State: Burns can’t ask for recount; margin of victory too large

HELENA - Montana's top electioneer said Wednesday morning that barring a ''dramatic change'' Democrat Jon Tester is the winner of the hotly contested U.S. Senate race and Republican Sen. Conrad Burns does not have the footing to ask for a re-count.

Brad Johnson, Montana's secretary of state, which oversees elections in Montana, said Wednesday morning that election results reported by the Associated Press and this newspaper are generally tracking with his official results.

Montana law allows for voter re-counts in certain situations. In this case, the state itself would have launched n and paid for n a re-count if the margin between Tester and Burns fell below about 1,000 votes. Burns could have petitioned for a recount n and potentially paid the cost of it n if the margin between the two fell below about 2,000 votes, Johnson said.

But as it stands, with 2,848 votes separating the two candidates, a recount is not allowed under Montana law, Johnson said.

Thank you, beetwasher!

:cry:

Anybody should be able to have a recount if they can pay for it on their own...

It's still a really close election and if he wants to pay for a recount, he should be allowed.

Hope we will have the Senate, too.
