Joseph, who asked for the recount, was critical of the voting process, claiming a lack of ballots at some polling stations.
Also Friday, the judicial recount in Regina Lewvan ended after Conservative candidate Trent Fraser withdrew his request.
Fraser was beaten by NDP’s Erin Weir by 132 votes on election night.
