The Conservatives could lose two ridings — one in Ontario and one in Quebec — where Elections Canada has ordered judicial recounts.
Conservative candidate Ted Opitz stole the Etobicoke Centre riding from Liberal incumbent Borys Wrzesnewskyj by only 25 votes, triggering a call for a recount Wednesday.
Meanwhile, after a recount of votes Tuesday night, Elections Canada also ordered a recount in the Quebec riding of Montmagny-L'Islet-Kamouraska-Riviere-du-Loup where the vote difference between the Tory and NDP candidates was a mere five votes.
Conservative Bernard Genereux was first declared a winner Monday night over the NDP's Francois Lapointe by 110 votes in the riding.
However, the initial recount showed more than 100 votes were mistakenly awarded to the Green party.
If the NDP candidate is elected at the end of the process, the Conservative representation in the province will be down to five MPs.
According to the Canada Elections Act, a judicial recount is automatically required when the difference in votes between the first and second place candidates is less than one one-thousandth of the total votes cast in a riding.
Under these rules, Elections Canada might also order a judicial recount in Nipissing-Timiskaming — where difference between votes for the Conservative and the Liberal candidates was 14. Liberal incumbent Anthony Rota lost to Tory Jay Aspin in the riding. The agency has not yet announced a recount.
Pending the judicial recount, the ridings remain without an MP.
