DELEGATE CHRIS STOLLE'S STATEMENT ON STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS CERTIFICATION OF 83RD HOUSE DISTRICT NOVEMBER 5, 2019 ELECTION RESULTS

The State Board of Elections certified this afternoon that out of nearly 22,000 votes cast in the 83rd House district on November 5, 2019 only 27 votes separate the candidates. Based on this certification, Delegate Stolle released the following statement.

“With just 27 votes separating me and my opponent, we must make sure that every vote is properly counted. In accordance with state law, I am moving forward with a request for a recount of the 83rd House District election. I am truly grateful and touched by the calls and emails of support I have received since election night. I believe that the voters who live and work right here in the district deserve to know that we have left no vote uncounted.”
