Carmouche Unlikely to Ask For Recount

Earlier today, the campaign of Democrat Paul Carmouche announced that it is unlikely that they would call for a recount in the close election in Louisiana's 4th district.

Carmouche is simply waiting for the vote to be certified tomorrow, after election officials count the small number of remaining provisional and absentee ballots, which is unlikely to tilt the race in his favor.

His opponent, Republican Jim Fleming, leads Carmouche by 356 votes. So without a recount, it seems highly likely that Fleming will prevail and keep the seat in the Republicans' hands.
