Indiana Supreme Court affirms three-vote GOP primary win for incumbent in Trump-backed showdown

The Indiana Supreme Court, after a months-long recount, ruled that incumbent state Sen. Spencer Deery won the Senate District 23 Republican primary by three votes over Trump-backed Paula Copenhaver (6,335 to 6,332) and ordered his name placed on the November ballot. The court will publish a detailed written opinion later. Copenhaver had briefly led earlier in August after the recount discarded about 10 ballots for technical issues. Deery, who has served since 2022 and opposed Trump-backed redistricting in 2025, will face Democrat David Sanders and independent Joshua Brant in the general election.

Deery Secures Ballot in Indiana Senate Race After Supreme Court Recount Ruling

The Indiana Supreme Court ordered that Spencer Deery’s name be printed on the general election ballot for Senate District 23 after overturning a recount commission decision that had thrown out some votes. The ruling, issued Sept. 10 with a full written opinion to follow, allows Deery to proceed to the November race against Democrat David Sanders and independent Joshua Brant. The decision centers on voter-intent and countability of ballots with clerical errors, and comes as Deery pushes for changes to Indiana election law to prevent disenfranchisement in future contests.

Lindell Refuses to Pay for Minnesota GOP Recount, Sues Over Scope

MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, a Trump ally and longtime election denier, refused to pay the $825,000 bill to fund a full hand recount of Minnesota’s GOP gubernatorial primary after learning the recount would focus only on ballots for him and Demuth rather than all ballots in the seven-candidate field; he has filed lawsuits against the secretary of state and the State Canvassing Board to challenge the scope of the recount, while state officials say the plan complies with state law and is consistent with prior recounts.

Lindell Withholds Recount Funds Over Minnesota Scope Dispute

Mike Lindell says he has $825,000 ready to privately fund a statewide recount for Minnesota's governor race but won't pay until the scope dispute is resolved; his campaign argues the secretary of state's plan would only recount votes for two candidates, not all ballots, allegedly violating Minnesota law, and has asked for a payment deadline waiver while seeking a court ruling; the secretary of state contends the plan is lawful and approved.

Lindell fights recount terms, seeks Minnesota Supreme Court ruling in governor race

Republican Mike Lindell balked at a state-approved, upfront hand recount for Minnesota’s GOP governor primary, objecting to a format that would name only his and Lisa Demuth’s votes while others would go in a third column. He’s prepared to pay the $825,000 needed for the recount but is seeking a Minnesota Supreme Court injunction to block the limited recount; the canvassing board certified Demuth’s win by about 45,000 votes, and Lindell has also filed election-contest lawsuits in district court and the state Supreme Court.

Lindell funds statewide hand recount of Minnesota GOP governor primary ballots

Mike Lindell says he will cover a statewide hand recount and audit of Minnesota’s GOP governor primary ballots, at no cost to taxpayers, citing irregularities in reporting. The recount aims to verify results after Lisa Demuth won the nomination by about 45,000 votes; Lindell says the process could pave the way for removing voting machines. He cited anomalies such as backward vote totals, synchronized tallies across candidates, and counties reporting more votes than cast. Minnesota’s Secretary of State has not yet commented on the claims.

Lindell vows to bankroll Minnesota GOP governor recount after loss

Hawaii to settle two razor-thin primaries by drawing after historic ties

Two tight Hawaii Republican primaries ended in exact 1,212–1,212 (Senate District 20: Bob McDermott vs. Kurt Fevella) and 842–842 (House District 43: Kanani Souza vs. Sheila Medeiros) after ballots cured for signature issues, triggering an unprecedented drawing at the state Capitol to decide the winners. The McDermott–Fevella winner will face Democrat Markus Owens in the general election, while Souza–Medeiros gives the House seat to the winner since there’s no Democratic primary. A 13-hour recount initially showed no change.

Trump-backed challenger edges incumbent in Indiana Senate recount

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.

Three-vote win for Deery in Indiana District 23 sparks potential recount

Indiana State Senator Spencer Deery won the District 23 Republican primary by three votes over Paula Copenhaver, a margin that could trigger a formal recount if requested. Provisional ballots across several counties, including two disqualified in Tippecanoe, helped shape the outcome, with Parke County’s provisional tally placing Deery ahead by three. There are no automatic recounts; a recount would be initiated by a candidate or party chair and conducted by the state recount commission, potentially delaying final certification beyond May 15. The commission has appointed a recount director, and Secretary of State Morales chairs the panel amid controversy over his ties to Turning Point USA and redistricting. Deery thanked supporters and urged healing, while Copenhaver had not commented at press time.
