Colorado election officials must recount more than 40,000 ballots cast in El Paso County’s House District 16 as Republican Rebecca Keltie holds a six-vote lead over incumbent Democratic Rep. Stephanie Vigil.
The recount, already a certainty in the razor-thin race, was made official in an order from Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold on Monday night.
El Paso County must re-scan all ballots counted during the initial tabulation and the recount must be done by Dec. 6, according to the order.
This is a developing story and may be updated.
