Recounts in two Anchorage-area legislative races are scheduled to take place this week.
Recounts in two Anchorage-area legislative races are scheduled to take place this week, a top state elections official said Tuesday.
The recount in the Senate race was requested by Democrat Roselynn Cacy, who was the first of the three candidates in that ranked vote contest to be eliminated. The race was won by Republican Cathy Giessel, a former state Senate president, to represent parts of South Anchorage, Girdwood and Whittier. Incumbent Republican Rep. Roger Holland also competed.
Democrat Denny Wells requested a recount in the House race to represent Anchorage’s Bayshore and Sand Lake areas. He finished seven votes behind Republican Rep. Tom McKay after the final ranked vote tabulations. Official results showed McKay as the winner. The attorneys Holly Wells, Jennifer Alexander and Scott Kendall have asked that the division conduct the recount by hand. They argue the margin between Wells and McKay is “small enough that, even if the electronic tabulators were 99.9% accurate, the error rate could still be determinative of the outcome of the Election.”
