Several close primary election races across the U.S. have prompted recount requests as candidates contest razor-thin margins. In Huron County, Michigan, incumbent Steve Vaughan's tie with opponent Darren Smithers at 321 votes each has led to a recount request, pending verification by state officials. Washington's lands commissioner primary saw Democrat Dave Upthegrove surpass Sue Kuehl Pederson by 51 votes, triggering a mandatory hand recount due to the narrow margin. Similarly, St. Lucie County, Florida, reported Jennifer Frey defeating George Umasky by just two votes, necessitating a manual recount under state law. In Ottawa County, Michigan, Commissioner Roger Belknap is contesting a loss by over a thousand votes amid concerns over election website issues, while Butler County, Missouri, is preparing for a recount after Kenny Barker lost by just two votes. These instances highlight the ongoing scrutiny and challenges surrounding close electoral outcomes.
