LEWISTON (AP) - A Republican lawmaker from North Idaho who was 26 votes short of keeping her seat gained only one vote on her Democratic opponent in a recount.

The Lewiston Tribune reported that state Rep. Thyra Stevenson had requested the recount because Nez Perce County experienced technical problems tabulating ballots on election night.

Under Idaho law, the race didn't qualify for an automatic recount because the margins were greater than 0.1 percent. Instead, Stevenson paid $3,300, or $100 per precinct plus absentee ballots, for Tuesday's recount in Nez Perce County.

In the end, she was still 25 votes shy of beating Dan Rudolph for the District 6 legislative seat.

Stevenson said the recount was fair and accurate.
