"Oregon GMO Labeling Measure Too Close To Call, Headed For Recount"

"PORTLAND, Ore. — Statewide vote totals released Monday show an Oregon ballot measure that would require labeling of genetically modified foods was losing by a mere 809 votes and will go to an automatic recount.

Results from all 36 counties three weeks after Election Day showed Measure 92 was defeated by a margin of only 0.06 percentage point, well under the 0.2 percent threshold for a recount.

A hand tally of ballots is likely to begin the first week in December after Secretary of State Kate Brown certifies the election results, formally triggering the recount."

Jonathan J. Cooper reports for the Associated Press November 24, 2014.
