Zoe Daniel requests recount in seat of Goldstein after Liberal Tim Wilson wins by 260 votes

Zoe Daniel has requested an official recount by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) in the seat of Goldstein after her party's candidate secured a 260-vote lead through preference counts, despite AEC's standard practice to automatically recount under 100 votes. She argued that manual verification during preference distribution caused significant vote swings and believes a full recount is warranted, though she respects the commission’s decision-making process. Meanwhile, a recount will also be conducted in the Sydney seat of Bradfield due to its 100-vote margin, aligning with AEC’s standard for close races.
