@ChrisLisinski
at the State House News Service that he plans to challenge the results in court. "It'll absolutely be a legal challenge," the Georgetown Republican said.

Having gone through my own recount in 2019, which also resulted in a ONE VOTE win- I'm in awe this could happen again- and in the same state. Wow!
@MattPStout
While helping w/ the Georgetown recount I was struck by the New Englandness sound in the gym with people reading both names out loud over & over again for each ballot and hearing the “a” that’s not at the end of Kassna and the “r” not at the end of Mirrer.
Congrats
