McMurray will not concede to Collins, citing 'extensive irregularities'

Citing “extensive irregularities in the voting process,” Democrat Nate McMurray is not conceding defeat to Republican incumbent Chris Collins in the 27th Congressional District election.

Now McMurray says he will announce his next step on Monday, noting a vote difference with Collins of 0.5 percent that he says would trigger an automatic recount in many counties and states.

“We have seen extensive irregularities in the voting process, especially pertaining to absentee ballots, and there are issues that need to be addressed not only for this election but for all elections in the future to ensure voters are not disenfranchised and that every voice is heard,” he said.

“With this election, we are setting the stage for years to come.”
