"Citing "inaccuracies' in the vote, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) conceded to, and congratulated, Democrat Patrick Murphy on Tuesday morning.
"While there are certainly still inaccuracies in the results, and the actions of the St. Lucie County and Palm Beach County Supervisors of Elections rightly raise questions in my mind and for many voters, after much analysis and this past weekend's recount in St. Lucie County, our legal team does not believe there are enough over-counted, undercounted or fraudulent votes to change the outcome of the election," he said in prepared text.
The race was one of the closest in the nation, and while Murphy won on election night by a slim margin, West refused to concede. After a partial recount in St. Lucie County, West lost yet more ground Murphy."*
