Wow -- that's cutting it pretty darn close... .
Dosanjh hangs on to B.C. seat by 22-vote margin
High profile Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh will hold onto his seat in Vancouver South after a judicial recount awarded him a 22-vote victory Friday.
The recount was ordered when the final tally in last week's federal election showed Dosanjh beat Conservative candidate Wai Young by just 33 votes.
The recount began behind closed doors at 9 a.m. Friday morning.
Meanwhile, a judicial recount is expected to start on Monday for the riding of Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca, where incumbent Liberal Keith Martin bested Conservative candidate Troy DeSouza.
Recounts are automatically ordered by Elections Canada when a candidate wins by less than 0.1 per cent of total votes.

Morton again seems to have conveniently forgot the most important part of the story.
The judge stopped the recount before all ballot bozes were open therfore not finishing the job.
How the hell is that called democracy when the judge stops the recount before all ballots have been counted.
What a joke this country is.
What say you?
James I think you might of jump the gun here. This might give you a little insight.

I'd really be interested in hearing your thoughts on the partial recount, James.
