Kinnaird Wins Recount; Lee May Request Another
By Joanne Jordan | September 17N.C. Sen. Howard Lee, D-Orange, is considering yet another recount of votes cast in last week's primary election after results of a second tally released Monday declared Sen. Ellie Kinnaird, D-Orange, winner of the election. Lee initially called for a recount after Kinnaird defeated him in the election by 114 votes. By state law, a losing candidate can request a recount if the vote margin is less than 1 percent of the total votes cast.
