“It’s a sad situation because it’s two people who didn’t understand what they were doing, said Caddo Parish Clerk of Court Mike Spence.
“This wasn’t malicious,” he added.
“No matter what happens in any court battle following Monday’s machine recount of more than 7,700 absentee ballots many voters in our community would feel deeply disenfranchised and will question the legitimacy of this election,” wrote Republican John Nickerson to his Democratic opponent Henry Whitehorn.
“Under these unique circumstances, any certification of the current result can not withstand judicial — or public — scrutiny,” he continued.
“For that reason, I invite you to join me in asking the district court to order a special second runoff election,” wrote Nickerson.
The recount will only focus on absentee ballots, as Louisiana uses paperless touchscreen voting machines without a paper trail.
