VOTE RECOUNT IN QUEBEC RIDING OF TROIS-RIVIÈRES

Elections Canada says there will be a recount in a Quebec riding where the Bloc Québécois narrowly fought off the Conservatives. The judicial recount will start today in Trois-rivières, where the difference between the Bloc and Tories was 92 votes. The Conservative candidate, Yves Lévesque, requested that the votes be recounted. The Liberals came in a close third in the riding. The recount will be conducted by Justice Jocelyn Geoffroy of the Quebec Superior Court in the Trois-rivières district. The NDP is requesting a judicial recount in the Toronto riding of Davenport where it lost to the Liberals by 76 votes. A recount is already happening in the Quebec riding of Châteauguay-lacolle after a “potential anomaly” was discovered with a ballot box.
