Pending a recount, Shilling beats Kapanke by 58 votes
Around 90,000 voted
Jennifer Shilling increased her lead over Dan Kapanke with the final votes tallied in the 32nd State Senate race but not enough to avoid a likely recount.
The unofficial final count shows the incumbent Senate minority leader 58 votes ahead of the man she unseated in a recall election five years ago.
Third-party candidate Chip DeNure received just over 2,000 votes out of the around 90,000 votes cast.
The state elections commission says Kapanke could put in a request next week for a recount.
