Defeated Tulsa County clerk candidate says he wants recount
Posted: 08/29/2012
A candidate for Tulsa County clerk says he'll ask for a recount in the hard-fought race after losing by a small margin of votes.
Dean Martin lost by less than 200 votes.
The unofficial results show Pat Key won race with 50.5 percent of the vote to Martin's 49.5 percent.
With just such a small gap between the two, Martin is taking steps to request the recount. He says it's important to ensure the accuracy of the election.
