A Republican lawmaker is trying to get his daughter's ballot thrown out after she voted for his rival in a neck and neck election.
Tom Baio, a committeeman in Mendham Township, New Jersey, US, lost his re-election bid to his Democratic challenger Lauren Spirig by just three votes.
The local Republican group claimed in a statement that some of the absentee ballots cast by mail failed to meet state residency requirements, among them the vote cast by Baio's daughter.
