Hoffman "un-concedes"

Conservative Doug Hoffman says he’s “un-conceding” the North Country’s Congressional race that ended two weeks ago.

He made his remarks today on Glenn Beck’s radio show.

Democrat Bill Owens was unofficially declared the winner of the race with about 5,000 more votes than Hoffman. That margin has narrowed, but Owens is still around 3,000 ahead of his Conservative opponent.

Hoffman is looking at absentee ballots and says there’s a long shot he could still pull off a victory in this race. Approximately 10,000 absentee ballots went out. It’s not clear how many were returned.

Counting of these ballots begins today. Results aren’t expected until Thursday, at the earliest.
