(EL PASO COUNTY, Colo.) — On Monday, Nov. 25, the Secretary of State ordered a mandatory recount of the results of the 2024 General Election State House Representative race for District 16. When submitted to Secretary of State Jena Griswold, results for the District 16 race stood at 50.01% or 20,641 votes for Rebecca Keltie and 49.99% or 20,635 votes for Stephanie Vigil. Pursuant to Colorado law, because the vote differential in the race is less than 0.5% of the winner's total, a recount is required. El Paso County must have the recount done by Dec. 6. Once it begins, the county will work with the bipartisan canvass board to complete a logic and accuracy test on the required tabulation equipment. Following that, the county will start recounting all ballots for the State Representative race.
