Recounting the Recount...
VANCOUVER/CKNW(AM980)

10/27/2008

The woman who lost a close race in the federal riding of Vancouver-South isn't giving up the fight.

The initial count in the October 14th election gave incumbent Liberal Ujjal Dosanjh a 33-vote victory over Conservative rival Wai Young.
 
The close result triggered an automatic recount.
 
That recount reduced Dosanjh's win to 22 votes.

Now, Young is off to BC Supreme Court on Thursday to ask for another count.
 
Conservative officials say Young is upset not all of the ballot boxes were re-checked.
 
Ujjal Dosanjh has declined to comment on the issue, saying it is before the courts.
