Jimmy Nguyen, candidate for SJC Council D8, is still at it. Strategically, the recount is now focusing at duplicate ballots and spoiled" ballots. Nguyen is expected to end the recount this Friday unless there are unexpected issues.
He so far has challenged about 150 VBM ballots. Out of the challenged VBM ballots, there are 79 voters whom he claimed were disenfranchised since their votes did not count because of the different signature on file. He actually tracked them down and asked them to sign a statement demanding the ROV to count their votes for him.
The ROV declined to consider such statement since election law prevents the ROV from considering extrinsic evidence and documents.
If he cannot convince the ROV to overturn some of the results based on his finding, he will likely take the case to court.
