The recount in the race for the 111th Kansas House of Representative District is underway Tuesday morning at the County Administrative Office in Hays.

Following last Thursday’s election canvass, election officials certified the election with Republican challenger Barb Wasinger defeating Democratic incumbent Eber Phelps by just 32 votes.

The Phelps campaign immediately called for a full hand recount.

The canvass of the recount is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at the administrative center.
