Just hours after state certification officially deemed Mike Rogers the winner of the 8th Congressional District seat, the Brighton Republican’s opponent requested a recount. A lawyer for Dianne Byrum, a Democratic state senator from Onondaga, requested two-thirds of the district’s precincts be recounted in Ingham, Washtenaw, Genesee and Oakland counties. Rogers, a fellow state senator, officially defeated Byrum 145,179 votes to 145,019 - a margin of only 160 ballots - the Board of State Canvassers announced Monday. Any effort for a recount would result in a review of the election by individual counties and the Board of State Canvassers, which would push the process into the end of the month. Adam Wright, Byrum’s press secretary, said the recount is a process Byrum feels she owes her supporters because the certified result showed a gap of less than one-twentieth of a percent of votes cast. Mike Hodge, the attorney representing Byrum, filed a request Monday for the recount.
