Fewer than 250 votes – that was Conservative candidate Kathy Borrelli’s initial margin of victory over the Liberals’ Irek Kusmierczyk, who has served as the MP for Windsor—Tecumseh—Lakeshore for more than five years.

Now, Kusmierczyk is pushing for a recount in the border city riding after Borrelli’s lead dropped to just 77 votes once the federal election results were validated.
