Latah County to recount after 2,342 ballots went unreported

Latah County will conduct a full recount after 2,342 ballots were not reported in the county’s initial election results.

What happened

The county’s first results did not include 2,342 ballots. Latah County has now decided to conduct a full recount rather than rely on the initial totals.

What the recount means

A full recount will require the county to review the ballots again and produce updated results. The initial results should not be treated as the final count while that process is underway.

The development affects the county’s election results as a whole. No individual race is identified in the available details, so the recount’s effect on any specific contest cannot be stated.

What to watch

The key next step is the county’s recount and the updated results that follow it. The county’s final count will show how the 2,342 previously unreported ballots are included.
