OH-15: GOPer Pryce Wins, But Recount Is Triggered

GOP Rep. Deborah Pryce has won reelection to the House of Representatives, but her margin of victory was so slim that it will trigger a recount, the Associated Press is reporting. Pryce got 50.2 percent of the vote over 49.8 for Dem Mary Jo Kilroy -- and a recount is automatically triggered if the difference between the two candidates is under one-half of one percent. Though a Pryce spokesman claims to be confident that a recount won't alter the result, a Kilroy adviser claims he's "very happy" that a recount is mandated. Pryce is a seven-term incumbent whose lead evaporated amid the Mark Foley scandal after it emerged that Pryce had publicly fingered Foley as one of her best friends in Washington.
