A recount will also be done for Senate District 21. Unofficial results show Democrat Nathan Libby defeating Republican Patricia Gagne by 64 votes.
Another race that will get another look is Senate District 25, where Democrat Catherine Breen beat out Republican Cathleen Manchester by just 7 votes, according to unofficial results.
