Elections Officials Believe Mayoral Recount Is Hopeless
Freman Hendrix Believed There Were Irregularities In Nov. 8 Election

POSTED: 12:31 pm EST December 22, 2005

DETROIT -- Election officials said it is clear that a recount will not change the results of the Detroit mayoral race, Local 4 reported.

The recount has covered 326 of 720 precincts and incumbent Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has gained 26 votes over challenger Freman Hendrix, the station reported.

Hendrix cited irregularities in the Nov. 8 election and problems with ballot equipment as a reason for the recount, Local 4 reported. The election results gave incumbent Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick a win by more than 14,000 votes, according to reports.

Elections officials did not ask Hendrix to give up his request for a recount, but believe it is hopeless, Local 4 reported.
