BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - The North Dakota Supreme Court has ordered a recount of June primary ballots for the Libertarian secretary of state candidate.
The high court on Friday ordered Secretary of State Al Jaeger to conduct the recount for frequent political candidate Roland Riemers.
Riemers sought a recount after failing to get the 300 votes needed to move on to the November election. Jaeger’s office declined the recount because Riemers was the only Libertarian running for the seat.
