The New Hampshire Republican Senate primary is still too close to call — but might not be for long, the Union Leader reports, with a result possibly coming soon. As of right now, establishment-backed Kelly Ayotte has a very narrow lead over Tea Party-backed candidate Ovide Lamontagne.
Deputy Secretary of State David Scanlan told the paper that his office is getting close to a final result. “There are some numbers we want to double-check,” said Scanlon.
With 90% of precincts reporting, Ayotte has a slim edge of 38%-37%, with a raw vote lead of just 1,120 votes.
