1980-2000 nearly 10% of Maine recounts overturn the election!!

Edited on Mon Nov-15-04 01:57 AM by Carl Brennan

Note: nearly ten percent of recounts in Maine from 1980--2000 resulted in overturning the election:

Only 4 percent of 1,860 legislative elections between 1980 and 2000 were recounted, Flynn said. Of those 75 recounts, only seven victories were overturned.

Here is a topic where we are compiling successful recounts.
