Some have called the Democratic gubernatorial recount the party’s worst nightmare, while others say it could bring unity to the Democrats. News analyst Chris Graff discusses what effect the recount will have on the race in November.
The
election of Peter Shumlin as the Democratic candidate for Governor has been
formally certified by the State’s Election Canvassing Committee. Now the process for a formal recount can
begin.
The
big question is whether or not runner up Doug Racine will call for a recount –
under state law it’s possible to ask for a recount if the margin of victory is
less than 2 percent – the margin in this race is well below this threshold.
