WINNIPEG—Shelly Glover says she believes a spreadsheet her campaign team received before Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson was named winner of the Progressive Conservative leadership vote is correct.

Glover, who lost last month to Stefanson by a narrow margin, alleges there were irregularities when ballots were counted and wants a judge to order a new vote.
