A candidate's request for a vote recount has been denied. The decision was made by the state's highest court on a weekend day. This candidate, who has backing from a former president, had lost the nomination to another contender.

The candidate claimed issues with election data and initially planned to pay for a hand recount. However, a lawsuit was filed instead, disputing the recount process and seeking a temporary order.

Further information about this development is available from the source, including details about the lawsuit and the candidate's plans.
