In one race, Rep. Tim Harris, a Republican from Marion, was leading Democrat Larry Hile of Hartford City by only two votes.
update:
Ok, that was based on incomplete results, the margin of victory was 16.

I guess what I need to do is find out if there were voter ID problems there and or any ID-related provisional ballots.
It's Grant and Blackford counties, up around Marion and Muncie sort of.

Harris ... barely
Recount likely as margin comes down to 25 votes

Although incumbent Tim Harris, R-Marion, won the preliminary vote count for Indiana House District 31, opponent Larry Hile, D-Hartford City, said he intended to ask for a recount in his razor-thin loss.

Preliminary vote totals show Harris had just a 25-vote lead over Hile. Harris led with 7,401 votes to Hile's 7,376.


Looks like 16 votes apart. In the two small counties, there probably aren't 16 provisional ballots related to voter ID, but it could be looked into.
Without Hile, the new legislature is 51 D 49 R.
