Baltimore County Executive Candidate Requests Recount In 9-Vote Primary Loss
BALTIMORE CO., Md. (WJZ) -- A recount is set to begin in the Democratic primary for Baltimore County executive.
After a close race and count of final ballots Friday, election officials declared that former state delegate John Olszewski beat out state Sen. Jim Brochin by only nine votes for the winner of the Democratic ticket.
WJZ confirmed with the Brochin campaign Tuesday that they have chosen to have a manual recount of voter ballots.
The votes were certified Tuesday morning.
The recount is set to start in the next couple of days and could last for several days as they recount the votes.
