Here's what's happening in Terra Nova-The Peninsulas recount
CBC
The ballot recount in the tightest race in this year's federal election continues in Marystown, N.L.
Liberal Anthony Germain initially beat Conservative Jonathan Rowe by only 12 votes in the newly redrawn Terra Nova-The Peninsulas riding.
That razor-thin margin prompted an automatic judicial recount.
Supreme Court Justice Garrett Handigran told CBC News the teams should be finished counting the more than 41,000 ballots by about 5:30 p.m. NT Wednesday.
When that's done, he will start reviewing the riding's disputed ballots. Lawyers are expected to make their arguments over those ballots in the afternoon.
Some of those disputed ballots might include those rejected on election night. In all, 579 were rejected in the initial count.
They can be rejected for a number of reasons, including how an elector indicates their chosen candidate.
For example, a ballot must be rejected by the recount team if the voter did not make a mark in the circle next to a candidate's name. Further, if there are any identifying markers or a voter marked for a person other than a listed candidate, those are grounds for rejection.
A rejected ballot can be accepted during the recount process if the recount teams — which include representatives for each candidate — unanimously agree that the ballot should be reclassified.
In such a tight race, every vote in the 279 ballot boxes counts. Eleven of those boxes include special ballots, and 23 boxes hold votes cast in advanced polls.
Although both candidates have expressed confidence, the outcome of the recount is not set in stone. The Quebec riding of Terrebonne flipped to Liberal by a single vote.
