Recount likely in 10th Congressional District

The 10th district runoff election results appear headed for a recount. Out of Tuesday night, Athens doctor Paul Broun held a narrow lead over former state Senator Jim Whitehead of Evans. The margin was just under 400 votes, from a total of more than 46-thousand cast. It means the results are within the one-percent margin needed for the trailing candidate to be granted a recount if requested. Ballots from military, overseas, and provisional are still outstanding.
