In this June 26, 2013 file photo, Sen. Troy Jackson, D-Aroostook County, speaks during debate over the state budget shortly before the Senate voted to override Gov. Paul LePage's veto, at the State House in Augusta, Maine. The story of the Republican governor's clash with Democratic lawmakers over whether to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act ended with the governor's veto - and a vow by Democrats to try again was voted the top story of 2013 in Maine in a survey by The Associated Press and its member news organizations in Maine.

Maine's Senate president has lost a recount for a seat on his local select board.

Top Senate Democrat Troy Jackson of Allagash originally lost a race for the seat in a 78-70 vote against Karie Kelly on March 24. Jackson called for a recount the next day, citing what he says were concerns raised by residents about the ballot-counting process.

The recount took place on Tuesday with a Kelly receiving 77 votes to Jackson's 71. Jackson says he accepts the results.
