BREAKING: Election Advocates Demand Recount in Tennessee
They’re questioning how 31,000 additional votes appeared with 99.4% votes counted - and that's not all.
WATCH OUR SPECIAL REPORT WITH AND AT 4 PM ET
Election integrity advocates are demanding a hand recount in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District after data shows more than 31,000 votes materialized after 99.4% of ballots were already counted.
At 99.4% reporting, Decision Desk HQ displayed 148,853 total votes. The final certified tally: 179,899.
The math doesn’t work. The remaining 0.6% of precincts should have produced roughly 1,000 ballots — not 31,000.
Republican Matt Van Epps was declared the winner over Democrat Aftyn Behn by approximately 15,700 votes. But without knowing how those late-arriving ballots broke, the true outcome remains uncertain.
That’s why they want a recount.
