JAY — The recount requested for the House District 74 race between Keith Cornelio and Tina Riley, both of Jay, has been withdrawn, Jay Town Clerk Ronda Palmer said Thursday.
Kristen Muszynski of the Office of the Secretary of State, Division of Elections, confirmed the withdrawal.
At the polls Nov. 8, Cornelio, a Republican, received 2,298 votes and Riley, a Democrat, got 2,359, a difference of 61 votes.
Riley succeeds Rep. Paul Gilbert, D-Jay, who could not run again because of the term limit law.
District 74 includes Jay, Livermore and Livermore Falls.
