Stacey Newman

Then there's the case of the 2012 Democratic primary for the 87th Legislative District in Missouri.

Because of redistricting, Representative Stacey Newman was pitted in a primary against a fellow legislator, Representative Susan Carlson.

On election night, Newman prevailed by a single vote, 1,823 to 1,822.

But the St. Louis County Election Board declined to certify the results, saying that 102 voters at one polling place had mistakenly been given ballots for a neighboring district.
