Brockton recount?




From SHNS:



Casino
foes ponder recount in Brockton

Opponents
of a
Brockton
casino
says
they will decide in the coming days whether to file a recount petition, the
Associated Press reports, but it's highly unlikely the outcome of the Tuesday
vote will be changed. The 143 vote difference, out of more than 14,000 ballots
cast, may seem like a tight margin but "is actually quite large," said John
McGarry, executive director of Brockton's elections department. "The numbers are
pretty cut-and-dried."

Meanwhile,
the "squeaker of a referendum" vote  in Brockton has some in New Bedford
speculating that city will move ahead of its rivals in the all-important eyes of
the Gaming Commission when the Whaling City votes next month. ""I think it's
very good for us," City Council President Brian Gomes tells the Standard-Times.
