Utah 5th District recount

In Utah's 2nd Congressional District, a recount has been initiated due to a narrow 214-vote margin between Republican challenger Colby Jenkins and incumbent Rep. Celeste Maloy. Jenkins formally requested the recount and has also filed a lawsuit to include over 1,000 disqualified ballots that he claims were invalidated unfairly due to late postmarking. Meanwhile, in Virginia's 5th District Republican Primary, a recount is set to begin between incumbent Congressman Bob Good and State Senator John McGuire, with only 374 votes separating them. McGuire has expressed optimism about the outcome, emphasizing the importance of retaining the seat for Republicans in the upcoming elections. Both recounts reflect ongoing tensions and disputes surrounding election integrity as candidates seek to secure their positions. These developments highlight the contentious nature of recent electoral processes in the United States.
