An update from today’s Enquirer:

State election officials say votes in Kenton County’s 23rd Senate District will be retabulated next week.

Secretary of State Trey Grayson will conduct a recanvass of ballots in the disputed race between Sen. Jack Westwood, R-Crescent Springs, and Covington Democrat Kathy Groob Thursday at 9 a.m.

Wednesday [Nov. 5], after the developer of the E-Slate voting machines - Harp Election Services of Lexington - took responsibility for the error, Kenton Circuit Judge Patricia Summe ordered a recount of the disputed straight-ticket ballots.

The recount, which took the Kenton County Board of Elections more than seven hours to complete, gave Westwood a bigger edge. The recount, completed just before 10 p.m. Wednesday, showed that Westwood picked up 447 votes while Groob gained 343 votes. That gave Westwood a lead of 807 votes, 21,057 to 20,250.
