Federal election judicial recount in Newfoundland hits day 8. What's taking so long?

Article content Meanwhile, the last of four judicial recounts that arose from the election ashes begins today in Ontario's Windsor—Tecumseh—Lakeshore. It was granted by a judge after Liberal incumbent Irek Kusmierczyk, who lost by 77 votes to Conservative Kathy Borrelli, said some of his scrutineers witnessed valid votes being rejected on election night. Article content In Ontario's Milton East—Halton Hills South, a recount that began the day after Terra Nova—The Peninsulas, Kristina Tesser Derksen was confirmed as the new MP late last week, having beaten Tory Parm Gill by 21 votes. Article content The first judicial recount, in the Quebec riding of Terrebonne, was also completed last week, but it could head to a byelection depending on the outcome of a court case contesting the official result. Article content The riding was first claimed by the Liberals' Tatiana Auguste on election night, but was awarded to Bloc Québécois incumbent Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné after results were validated. But with a margin of victory smaller than one one-thousandth of the total votes cast, a judicial recount was required, at the end of which Auguste emerged as the winner by a single vote. Two days later, a Bloc supporter came forward saying her mail-in ballot was returned to her. Article content

Recount confirms narrow Liberal victory in Milton East—Halton Hills South

Liberal Kristina Tesser Derksen says she found out just before midnight on May 15 that a judicial recount had confirmed her victory in the federal Ontario riding of Milton East–Halton Hills South. The margin narrowed from 29 votes to 21 with the recount. Elections Canada ordered the recount last week after the vote validation process showed Tesser Derksen won the riding over Conservative Parm Gill by a slim margin. A judicial recount is ordered automatically when the top two candidates are separated by less than 0.1 per cent of the valid votes cast. Gill was declared the victor on election night but the riding flipped to the Liberals after the results were validated by Elections Canada.
