Trump-backed challenger edges incumbent in Indiana Senate recount
TL;DR
A recount in Indiana's May GOP state Senate primary flipped the lead from incumbent Spencer Deery to Paula Copenhaver after 10 ballots were tossed, giving Copenhaver a three-vote edge. Deery plans to appeal, arguing the disputes were about administrative errors rather than voter intent. If the result stands, Copenhaver would be favored in the general election in the heavily Republican 23rd District.
