Conservative Borrelli Holds Windsor-Tecumseh Seat by Four Votes After Judicial Recount

News summary

A judicial recount has confirmed Conservative Kathy Borrelli's narrow victory over Liberal incumbent Irek Kusmierczyk in the Windsor—Tecumseh—Lakeshore riding by just four votes, down from an initial margin of 233 votes on election night. The recount process, ordered after Kusmierczyk challenged the results due to concerns over rejected ballots, involved a meticulous review of more than 70,000 votes and lasted three days under the supervision of Justice Ross J. Macfarlane. Borrelli expressed gratitude for the recount's conclusion and thanked Kusmierczyk for his years of service, pledging a smooth transition and readiness to serve the community. Kusmierczyk sought the recount to ensure electoral clarity and confidence, citing affidavits from scrutineers who observed questionable ballot rejections. Despite the reduced margin, the Liberals maintain their seat count in the House of Commons, falling just short of a majority government. The recount underscores the importance of electoral integrity and the close political competition in this southern Ontario riding.
