The August 9th partisan primary isn’t quite over for the Rock County Clerk’s Office.
County Clerk Lisa Tollefson says 2nd Congressional District candidate Charity Barry has filed a petition for a recount of the Republican primary results.
Tollefson says the difference between the winner, Erik Olsen, and Barry was just 73 votes out of the over 40,000 that were cast in the entire Congressional District.
Tollefson says the hand recount of the more than 7,400 ballot cast in Rock County will begin at 9:00 Saturday morning.
The 2nd Congressional District covers parts of Dane, Sauk, Iowa, Layfayette, Green, and Rock Counties.
