Tell the story of disputed election result (7)
I believe the answer is:
recount
'tell' is the definition.
(I know that tell can be written as recount)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for recount that I've seen before include "outcome of tight ballot?" , "Election event" , "result of close-run ballot" , "Tell a story" , "post-election procedure?" .)
