Recount Sought to Settle Narrow Senate Race
A statewide recount was ordered for Murray and Johnston counties to resolve a tight state Senate race in which Bailey Cobb led Bruce Frazier by 16 votes after initial tallies. The move follows claims by local businessmen seeking the recount, with Cobb a 12 year senator and former Roads and Highway chair. House Speaker James C. Nance lost to Henry Montgomery in a neighboring race.
