LEWISTON, Maine - A spokesperson for the Maine Secretary of State's Office says about 4,000 ballots received from members of the military and Mainers living overseas have been counted and are being processed by her office.
The final tally could be released later today but may have to wait until Monday after the Veterans' Day holiday tomorrow.
Kristen Muszynski says she understands there's a lot of interest in the outcome because of the close vote on Question 1, the ballot measure to regulate and tax recreational marijuana.
Currently, the Yes side is leading by about 3,000 votes, but opponents have said they may ask for a recount, especially if that margin shrinks.
Muszynski says, by law, opponents have five business days to ask for a recount which would be by Wednesday of next week.
