Colorado secretary of state orders mandatory recount in House District 16 race


Colorado election officials must recount more than 40,000 ballots cast in El Paso County’s House District 16 as Republican Rebecca Keltie holds a six-vote lead over incumbent Democratic Rep. Stephanie Vigil.

The recount, already a certainty in the razor-thin race, was made official in an order from Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold on Monday night.

El Paso County must re-scan all ballots counted during the initial tabulation and the recount must be done by Dec. 6, according to the order.
