Washington state Republican Joe Kent will request a machine ballot recount after losing to Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in the 3rd Congressional District House race.
on Friday announced his campaign will request a machine ballot recount of all precincts in the state's 3rd Congressional District.
Nevertheless, the Kent campaign cited the close margin and unidentified issues with signature verification software in its statement announcing the recount request."We believe the election workers did their best to ensure a fair election and count the ballots accurately," his campaign said.
Multiple factors, including the machines, staffing and the daily county recounts will determine how long it will take. The 3rd District encompasses Clark, Cowlitz, Lewis, Pacific, Skamania and Wahkiakum counties, and a small portion of Thurston County. Perez's victory flipped the 3rd District for Democrats. It is currently represented by Rep. Jamie Herrera Beutler, R-Wash., who is one of 10 Republican House members who voted to impeach. Beutler was defeated by Kent, a former Green Beret and staunch Trump supporter, in the Republican primary in August.
