>> to answer the first question, grandfather was in blair house and not only was he in blair house but when he heard gunfire he stuck his head out of the window. secret service had to yell at him to put it in. so he did. making light of this serious incident but yes, he was home but i don't think my grandmother or mother were but they may have been back in independence but he was. the ex-president did not have secret service protection until after john f. kennedy was assassinated so grandpa had no secret service until 1964. anyone could walk to the house. the secret service put a fence around it but it was unlocked. i tell this story often. i don't know if anyone in this room has heard it, a man's car broke down in front of my grandparents home in the 1950s. he did not know where he was, it said truman home. he walks to the front gate and ring the doorbell grandpa answered the door. the man said, " my car has broken down, do you have a phone?

david blair is asking for that partial recount. it's going to involve provisional and absentee and some precincts. memberost to council mark he will rich by just 79 votes. that's not a lot. i glitch in voter registration affected 80,000 voters and blair says votersnc also exper trouble registering and casting their ballots. blair was not available tpeak to us on camera this even. we caught up with mark he will ridge wh this al not change the outcome of the election. >> he has every right to ask for a recount. if i was in a race this close and thought there was a recount would change it, i would file for a recount, too. i'm not surprised. i kind of expected to happen. >> repter: now, blair said in a statement and while it is certainly unclear whether a reunt will affect the outcop, we believe the narrow marge coupled with the numerous issues tpacting election make a recount appropriate. this will begin mondayorning at 9:00 at the board of elections. they're hoping to wrapt up and have all the results ready within one y. but it's bee
