HBO Poll: Brannon’s Recount Chance

The losing candidate in a tight Coeur d’Alene City Council race formally asked the city clerk for a recount Wednesday.Jim Brannon lost to incumbent councilman Mike Kennedy by five votes. Because that is less than one-tenth of 1 percent of all votes cast (6,325), Brannon had the right to make the request and to have the city pay for the recount, City Clerk Susan Weathers said.“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,” Brannon said Wednesday afternoon. “There is a 50-50 chance we could switch. I fully expect to win”/ Alison Boggs , SR. More here .
