A recount in Iowa House District 19 is scheduled for Monday morning, November 16, according to Gray Media / KCRG’s November 10 report. Secretary of State Paul Pate told the reporter that his office received Democrat Benjamin Larson’s written request Tuesday. The race pits Larson against Republican incumbent Brent Siegrist.
The numbers remain provisional
The AP results panel, checked November 11 at 6:08 p.m. CST, shows Siegrist with 5,157 votes and Larson with 5,118, a 39-vote difference. AP estimates 99% counted and does not display a winner call. Its district source clock reads November 9 at 4 p.m., without a stated timezone.
The KCRG report describes a 37-vote initial margin. That differs from the separately checked AP snapshot; the figures are not combined. Iowa Decides retains BrownWinick’s earlier reported outcome with a prominent recount-pending note. No recount result or certification has been verified, and this update changes no contest score.
