| Description | 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. Under that law, Kellner needed 1,438 more votes than Padden to avoid a mandatory recount — five more votes than his current margin. |
