There will be a recount in the Democrat 8th District Congressional Election.

Earlier this month, Sullivan County Attorney Ron Drake won the race with only a 53 vote difference over David Orentlicher.  Orenticher said he’s filing for the recount today.  There were over 58,000 votes cast in the southwest Indiana district consisting of 650 precincts.  Both candidates are vying for the nomination to face Republican incumbent Larry Bucshon in November.
