MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Eric Hovde will not be conceding the race, a week after the election.
Hovde says Democrats gamed the election.
“While I’m deeply concerned, asking for a recount is a serious decision that requires careful consideration. Further, there are meaningful limits on a recount because they don’t look at the integrity of a ballot.”
Hovde claims there were voting irregularities in Milwaukee County, and accuses Democrats of propping up third party candidates to siphon votes from him.
Preliminary results from last Tuesday show Hovde losing to Democrat incumbent Tammy Baldwin by just 29-thousand votes, inside the margin where he can request a recount.
