Ballot recount set for Friday in Marquette County

MARQUETTE — The hand recount of the presidential race is slated to take place in Marquette County Friday, according to County Clerk Linda Talsma.

Talsma said the recount will begin at 9 a.m. at Lakeview Arena in the Citizens Forum Room. About 25 local clerks and deputy clerks will be taking part in the recount of 33,501 ballots, she said.

The effort should be completed Friday.

Marquette County has 36 precincts and three absent voter counting board precincts, and will receive $125 for each one from Jill Stein for a total of $4,875.

Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein last week requested a full hand recount of Michigan’s presidential vote.
