Weeks after a recount began, results released Monday showed John Lehman, a Democrat, defeating incumbent Republican Van Wanggard in a recall election for Wisconsin's 21st state Senate district.
On June 5, initial election results showed Lehman defeating Wanggaard by 834 votes out of a total of 72,000 ballots cast. Wanggard requested a recount.
The victory for Lehman means that Democrats will now have a 17-16 majority in the Wisconsin state Senate.
