Challenger Patrick Smith on Wednesday asked for a recount of the vote against incumbent Bryan Shupe in the Republican primary for District 36 in the Delaware House.
The key issue: one more absentee vote recorded Wednesday for Shupe and the state’s arithmetic on calling for an automatic recount.
Smith said in a statement that he filed a petition Wednesday with the Board of Canvass at the Sussex County Superior Court and the Delaware Department of Elections to:
- “Request a recount of this election.
- “Challenge the determination not to conduct an automatic recount.
- “Pause any certification of election results until representatives from both campaigns are able to inspect and count the ballots in a recount, including the absentee ballots and their envelopes.”
Bryan Shupe
In a statement Shupe said, I would personally prefer a recount—just so everything is transparent, and everyone can see all the votes. know that was already done, but if people have questions, I’m completely fine with it.
“In the General Assembly, I’ve always been for transparency and openness, and if it comes down to it, or something happens, if they ask me if I want it—I’d prefer a recount.”
Shupe is CEO of Delaware LIVE, which owns Milford LIVE.
Smith said, “We believe this recount is the most transparent way to ensure the people of District 36 have the election results they voted for with full confidence. A recount is most appropriate when margins are so razor-thin.”
Tuesday ended with unofficial results showing Smith at 1,145 votes and Shupe at 1,156, out of 2,301 votes cast.

When the absentee ballot for Shupe was added Wednesday, the vote was now 1,145 to 1,157, out of 2,302 votes.
“The threshold to trigger an automatic recount is a 0.5% vote difference. 0.5% of 2,302 is 11.51,” Smith said. “The department has informed us that the increased overall vote differential from 11 votes to 12 votes is above the margin of error required to trigger an auto-recount.”
Smith said he has requested digital images of all ballots, including absentee ballots and envelopes, in order to preserve the data.
Unofficial primary results
According to the unofficial figures posted by the department, as of Wednesday, Smith had 923 machine votes, 33 absentee votes and 189 early votes. And Shupe had 880 machine votes, 81 absentee votes and 196 early votes.
District 36 is in northeastern Sussex County, going from roughly Milford in the north to just north of Georgetown in the south, and from Route 13 in the west to the Delaware Bay in the east.
On his campaign website, Smith says he works remotely as an IT professional in electronic medical record systems.
On his personal website, Shupe says he founded Milford LIVE, Delaware LIVE, Fur Baby Pet Resort and The Farmacy Market.

Thomas Jefferson University to run Delaware’s first medical school
Thomas Jefferson University is opening a regional campus of its Sidney Kimmel Medical College in Delaware, an effort that will result in the state’s first medical school.
Jefferson beat out three other bidders to establish the four-year program in partnership with the state. The other bidders were the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, the consulting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Ponce Health Sciences University in Puerto Rico, Spotlight Delaware reported.

The inaugural class of 40 medical students will begin instruction in July 2028. Initially, the campus will be based at the University of Delaware in Newark, with Jefferson faculty providing instruction. A permanent home for the campus is still being finalized, the Inquirer reported.
The medical students will receive 18 months of preclinical training on campus before receiving clinical training from healthcare providers in Delaware’s southern counties, where the state’s physician shortage is most deeply felt. That shortage is compounded by an aging population, Delaware officials said.
“Jefferson is committed to being part of the solution to Delaware’s physician shortage,” Jefferson CEO Dr. Joseph Cacchione said in a statement. “We are proud to help build a future where every Delawarean has access to the care they deserve. Jefferson is all in.”
The school’s creation is being supported by $157.4 million from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Delaware is one of three states without a Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine program. Since the late 1960s, Jefferson and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine have reserved seats for Delaware students.
“Sidney Kimmel Medical College has trained generations of physicians for more than 200 years, more than any other medical college in the country,” Said Ibrahim, dean of Sidney Kimmel Medical College, said in a statement. “It is a privilege to bring our mission to Delaware’s patients and communities.”
Jefferson has announced several expansions recently. The university is establishing a full-time doctor of nursing practice-nurse anesthesia program and several online graduate programs at the Lehigh Valley Health Network Center for Healthcare Education in Lehigh County. It also is opening a satellite respiratory therapy lab at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest in Allentown.
