There will be a recount in Connecticut's Second CD, however, the local paper, the Norwich Bulletin, reported that the Democrat, Joe Courtney, had the votes to defeat incumbent Rob Simmons. It's close, but a win is a win:
The Associated Press reported early today that all but four precincts had reported their results. The Norwich Bulletin obtained the numbers from those final four precincts -- all in Waterford -- this morning. Waterford reports Simmons garnered 3,940 votes to Courtney’s 3,887. It appears Courtney has beaten Simmons by a mere 170 votes overall in the 2nd Congressional District -- 121,321 for Courtney to 121,151 for Simmons.When Courtney is declared the winner, it will be the 29th pick up for the Democrats.
