The recount between State Senate Candidates Republican Lou Gargiullo and Democrat Debra Altschiller has been going on for about a week now. Debra Altschiller won the election by 11.4 percentage points or 3,683 votes for District 24.
We want to thank Megan Davis for this Op-Ed – Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.
If you notice the above tally sheet, taken from Debra Altschiller’s Twitter, you will find that Lou Gargiullo was justified when asking for a recount for the election.
If Gargiullo is winning the vote at the time of this photo, I assume that is how the election went.
In the above snapshot from the recount in Hampton, Gargiullo has 118 votes, and Altschiller has 114 votes. That means that Gargiullo is winning by 1%.
How did these two candidates do in the town of Hampton on Nov 8? Altschiller got 1,480 and Gargiullo got 1,299. That means that Altschiller won by 1%.
Thank you, Lou for contesting this vote.
