A machine recount in North Carolina Senate leader, Phil Berger's Republican primary against Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page has confirmed the same. Tight result. Page still leads by 23 votes after officials checked ballots and Guilford and Rockingham counties. The margin started at just two votes on election night. Provisional ballots then pushed it to 23 and the full machine recount did not change a single vote. Page's campaign advisor called on Berger to concede, saying it's an insult to voters and a waste of tax dollars. Berger has not commented yet but may push for a sample hand recount next. Earlier this week, the state board of elections turned down Berger's request to hand count 220 undervotes and overvotes ahead of. Schedule. The board wants to follow the standard process. Berger has also filed election protests over ballot issues affecting at most 13 voters. Hearing start Thursday in the two counties, though it's unlikely to flip the race.
