Liberal Irek Kusmierczyk is asking for a judicial recount in the Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore riding, alleging many ballots were wrongfully rejected. Before a judicial recount can go ahead, a judge must first determine whether it is justified, and that hearing is scheduled for Friday afternoon. If the recount goes ahead, teams can be brought in by the Liberals and the Conservatives to oversee Elections Canada staff as they go through all the ballots for the second time. That will also include the rejected ballots.
