Court Approves Hartke Recount
The Supreme Court on a 6 to 2 vote allowed Republican Richard Roudebush to seek a recount of Indiana ballots in 11 counties for the 1970 U.S. Senate race against Democrat Vance Hartke. The ruling holds that Indiana's recount method does not usurp the Senate's power to judge the elections, preserving a path for possible independent or local recounts while avoiding court interference.
