Protest Over Catoosa Primary Recount By Parker Team
Attorneys for Homer C Parker filed a formal protest with the state Democratic executive committee challenging the September recount in Catoosa County that gave two unit votes to Harrison instead of Bullard. Parker leads Harrison in the current count but the recount, conducted after Wilkinson county differences, could tilt the result if accepted. The protest argues the recount was illegal, not authorized, and violated election laws, noting a discrepancy of 11 fewer votes with unexplained changes and accusing the county committee of opening sealed ballots on its own.
