6th Legislative District recount starts Tuesday

The hand recount of that super-close legislative race between John Driscoll and John Ahern starts Tuesday with the separating of the district's 75,947 ballots.

A training session on procedures for observers and staff starts at 12:30 p.m. and the actual recount starts at 1 p.m.

Democrat Driscoll, the challenger, currently leads Republican incumbent Ahern by 74 votes. For more numbers, go inside the blog:
