With just a handful of votes now separating Colorado House District 58 Republican Primary candidates Larry Don Suckla and J. Mark Roeber, the Colorado Secretary of State will most likely order an automatic recount of the 12,971 votes.
“As it stands, the vote differential is three votes or 0.046%,” Colorado Secretary of State Communications Director Jack Todd confirmed by email.
This puts the two conservative GOP candidates within the 0.5% margin that would trigger an automatic recount.
“We are within that threshold,” Todd said. “The deadline for Secretary (Jena) Griswold to order a mandatory recount is July 19.”
