Rumor: Burns May Go to Recount
According to rumors I'm getting from a person who should know, it's possible that the highly contested Max Burns John Barrow, Savannah District Race may go to a recount.
http://www.macon.com/mld/macon/news/politics/15956229.htm On the race and its numbers.
My source says that GOPers were up late into the night watching this race, and problems with voting in EFFINGHAM county could cause a recount. Burns, from Sylvania is trying to take Barrow's seat. Georgia law requires a recount for a difference of 1% or less. And in that Effingham county apparently election workers were going over the ticker tape by hand in an effort to sort out the problems there.
If, and I wouldn't count on it, but if Burns were to win in a recount, it would be the only Incumbent democrat to get knocked out off office in last night's Dem sweep.
There's no word of a recount from the secretary of state yet, but it could be coming.
