Comment on Recount ordered in 18th Judicial District Attorney race after threshold missed by 5 votes

Recount ordered in 18th Judicial District Attorney race after threshold missed by 5 votes

Because of five votes, the race to become the next district attorney in the state’s largest judicial district will go to a mandatory recount. John Kellner, a Republican, leads Democrat Amy Padden by a margin of 1,433 votes in a race that 573,359 people voted in. But that’s not a big enough lead to avoid a recount mandated by Colorado law. State statute mandates an automatic recount in any race where the leading candidate’s margin is less than or equal to half of 1% of the total votes that candidate received.
