A judge on May 10 said he will be ordering a ballot recount in the riding of Windsor—Tecumseh—Lakeshore, where the Conservative candidate won by fewer than 100 votes in the April 28 federal election.

Ontario Superior Court Justice J. Ross Macfarlane said he was satisfied that the legal team representing the Liberals' Irek Kusmierczyk had provided enough evidence to justify a judicial recount. 

"I am prepared to grant the order," Macfarlane said during Friday's court hearing, which took place over Zoom. The recount is expected to take place in the weeks ahead.
