There is still no change in the number of votes between Senator Joanne Brown and Speaker Ben Pangelinan. The former was still ahead by at least 14 votes over the latter, and Guam Election Commission executive director Gerry Taitano tells KUAM News, his staff, his agency's board of directors members and representatives from the Republican and Democrat parties finished the recounting of Barrigada and Mangilao yesterday.

He says that to date, the GEC has recounted nearly 27,000 ballots out of more than 35,000 cast during the Decision 2004 General Election more than week ago. A recount of Tamuning, Dededo and Yigo is expected this week. Additionally, the GEC will be counting the number of write in votes for the Guam Education Policy Board for the Lagu District.

Taitano hopes to have the recount completed by the upcoming weekend or early next week.
