House District 17 candidate Tom Glass requested a recount, which included Bastrop County GOP votes.  The Bastrop County portion of that recount was completed today.

There were  27 people making up nine teams of three each, all Republicans because it was a primary election recount.  The recount started at 10:30 a.m. and ended around 6:30 p.m.  The group manually counted more than 9,000 paper ballots.

Chairman Mike Gepner expressed his appreciation to all who agreed to participate. He was grateful so many came forward to assist in the process. He noted the expertise and professionalism of Elections Administrator Kristin Miles and her staff, which contributed to the work getting done in one day.
