Wanggaard says he'll weigh options after canvass, citing irregularities, outstanding absentee ballots
GOP state Sen. Van Wanggaard said this morning he will weigh his options after the canvass is complete in his narrow loss to Dem John Lehman, citing reports of voting irregularities, outstanding absentee ballots and problems in the unofficial tally.
“People across the state and country have asked that I immediately ask for a recount. However, we all know that the best decisions are made when well-rested and after consideration of all options,” Wanggaard said in a brief statement. “We will closely monitor the canvass of votes with legal representation. We will evaluate our options regarding recounts following the official count of ballots.”
Wanggaard's campaign said the statement was the only comment it would have at this time.
