Brannon Requests Recount …

Update: City Clerk Susan Weathers tells Huckleberries Online that Brannon said he doesn’t mind that the city do its regular canvassing on next Monday rather than tomorrow. That will begin a 20-day clock for the Attorney General’s office to respond to his request .

Jim Brannon just told SReporter Alison Boggs : ” I have verbally requested a recount with City Clerk Susan Weathers. I haven’t done the official formal paperwork, which has to go to the attorney general, but I will meet with the clerk later today. In my mind, we know nothing more than we knew at 8 o’clock when the polls closed last night and that is that it is going to be a very close race. There is a 50-50 chance we could switch. I fully expect to win.”
