Mayoral Candidate Seeks Recount in Detroit
From Times Wire Reports
Challenger Freman Hendrix announced that he would ask for a hand recount of votes from the Detroit mayoral election, which he lost by more than 14,000 votes this month to incumbent Kwame Kilpatrick.
“It may be tempting for some to dismiss this as a complaint from a sore loser,” Hendrix said at a news conference. “But there has been enough evidence ... to raise legitimate questions about how the election was conducted and how the ballots were counted.”
