It was that close

You might have thought the elections were over in Idaho, but in one Boise-area legislative race, the result’s been in question all this time. First-term Rep. Kathie Garrett, R-Boise, initially beat Democratic challenger Sean Spence by just nine votes, a super-thin margin that led to a recount.

Now, the recount’s done, and the final results are in: Garrett still wins by nine votes, out of a total of roughly 15,000 cast.
