A recount to decide who is the winner of the Grant County Council District 2 race likely will have to wait until the Indiana state representative District 31 race is decided, Grant County Democratic Party Chairman Kem Linn said.

Wednesday, Linn filed the petition for a recount in the District 2 race between Democrat Dan Brock and incumbent Republican Myron Brankle on behalf of Brock and the Democrat Party in Grant Superior Court 3, after Brock missed the noon Tuesday deadline to file a recount for himself.

Brankle defeated Brock by one vote, 2,152 to 2,151.

Linn said he believed the recount would have to wait until the winner of the District 31 representative race between Republican incumbent Tim Harris and Democrat challenger Larry Hile was determined. This week, Hile filed a petition for a recount alleging, among other items, that two Grant County precincts were added erroneously to his district.
