Democrat Robbyn Tumey has conceded
defeat in her state legislative race against Republican Timothy
Hutchinson.
Tumey had held out hope that she could use a legal challenge to
win the seat, even though she was trounced in balloting.
With complete but unofficial results in the District 95 contest,
Hutchinson had 63 percent of the vote, to Tumey`s 37 percent.
Circuit Judge Timothy Fox on Tuesday night rejected a complaint
from Tumey, that Hutchinson had not lived in the district for at
least a year.
Tumey`s campaign manager had said the candidate was considering
an appeal. But in a news conference this morning, Tumey said she
was dropping the effort.
