Conservatives seek judicial recount in Regina-Lewvan riding

The Conservatives are seeking a judicial recount in the Regina-Lewvan riding.

Tory candidate Trent Fraser lost to the NDP’s Erin Weir by 143 votes in the Oct. 19 federal election. It was later determined that only 133 votes separated the candidates.

“We want to ensure that every vote cast in last Monday’s election was properly counted,” Theo Bryson, president of the Conservative electoral district association for the riding, said in a news release.

“With such a close margin in this race, all voters of Regina-Lewvan need to know that the counting process was done correctly.”
