Malloy camp responds to AP withdrawing its call

“We are aware what the AP is reporting, and we’re confident they’re wrong,” Dan Malloy’s campaign manager Dan Kelly said in a statement shortly before 11 p.m. “Their numbers for New Haven are wrong, and they’re leaving out a significant number of votes in Bridgeport. We remain confident that we are ahead by more than enough votes to avoid a recount.”

Malloy’s spokesman Brian Durand said The New Haven Independent is reporting the accurate vote totals.

According to the New Haven Independent:

Malloy beat Tom Foley by 22,298 to 3,685 votes, a ratio of 6 to 1 in New Haven, counting absentee ballots.
