FED:Grayndler recount today

There'll be a recount of votes today in the Sydney seat of Grayndler .. with the Greens
hitching their hopes of snatching victory from Labor in the inner west electorate.

Greens' candidate SAM BYRNE says the Greens aren't conceding defeat.

He says it's very close .. and has gone from being one of the safest Labor seats in
the country to being on a knife edge.

Yesterday .. Labor had 46.8 per cent of the vote .. while the Greens had 25.4 per cent
.. a swing of almost seven per cent .. and the Liberals had 24 per cent.

The Australian Electoral Commission is conducting the recount after an incorrect two
candidate preferred selection.
