Carlos Tobon lost the primary in Rep. District 58 to incumbent William San Bento by one vote . . . or did he? How likely is SCORI to grant Candidate Carlos Tobon's Petition for Certiorari seeking review of the Board of Elections' refusal to conduct a hand recount of all ballots? Tobon makes a compelling case for further review, but the Supreme Court rarely gets involved in election disputes . . . given the narrowness of the margin and the relatively simple task of hand-counting about 1000 ballots, this seems like a case where the balance favors a grant of cert. We should know soon.
