MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA - Alabama's Democratic governor is awaiting a ruling from the state's Republican attorney general on a recount. <br>
<br>
Tuesday's governor's election is still undecided. <br>
<br>
Incumbent Don Siegelman is calling for a statewide recount after a second vote tally in a Republican county took seven-thousand votes away from the Democrat. That's more than enough votes to shift the election. <br>
<br>
The county blames a computer glitch for the discrepancy. <br>
<br>
The county's Republican district attorney has appealed to the state attorney general for an opinion before allowing seals to be broken on the voting machines and a hand recount completed.
