The re-count in Saint John Harbour is officially underway.
Elections NB tells CHSJ News, Conservative candidate Carl Killen won the seat on Monday night by nine votes over Liberal Ed Doherty but the rules state a victory by that margin means the ballots have to be re-counted.
Doherty tells CHSJ News, he didn’t expect the race to be this close but of course was hoping for a victory to continue serving constituents in the riding.
Killen tells CHSJ News, this has certainly made for some anxious times and he knew the race would be close but never expected it to be this tight.
The ballot counting will take place at the Court of Queens bench starting tomorrow morning at nine under the guidance of Justice Hugh McLellen.
No word on how long it will take.
