Democrats Consider Asking For Recount In Senator Garten’s Race

By John Szink Nov 12, 2026 | 7:24 AM

Democratic Party officials are getting ready to ask for a recount in the race of Republican state Senator Chris Garten.

He currently leads Democratic challenger Nick Marshall by just 297 votes, which is around two-thirds of a percent.

The Clark County Election Board on Tuesday night voted against conducting a planned count of the physical ballots cast at Jeffersonville High School after a ballot scanner malfunction was reported on Election Day.

Garten will be up for a vote by majority Republicans in the Senate to confirm his position as the Senate leader, and he says he is confident he will be reelected.
