“A recount in a contested Indiana state Senate primary in May has put Republican Paula Copenhaver, who was backed by President Donald Trump, ahead of incumbent Spencer Deery,” NBC News reports.
“Deery was one of seven GOP members of the state Senate who faced primary challengers this spring after having voted down a redrawn congressional map that Trump pushed last year. Five lost, while Deery clung to a three-vote lead, which Copenhaver challenged.”
“On Monday, the Indiana Recount Commission threw out 10 votes — eight for Deery and two for Copenhaver — the Indiana Capital Chronicle reported, giving Copenhaver a three-vote edge.”
