Malloy camp responds

Hartford, Conn. (AP/WTNH) - The Associated Press is withdrawing its call of Democrat Dan Malloy as the winner of Connecticut's race for governor.

The Associated Press based its call on statements by the Connecticut Secretary of State. Susan Bysiewicz that Malloy had defeated Republican Tom Foley by 3,103 votes and that there would be no statewide recount, if her preliminary totals held.

AP's vote count now shows Foley with a lead of 8,424 votes over Malloy, with all but 1.5 percent of the precincts counted. Bysiewicz has not released any vote results to support her statements earlier Wednesday.

The Malloy camp responded shortly after 11 p.m. Wednesday, saying: "We are aware what the AP is reporting, and we're confident they're wrong. Their numbers for New Haven are wrong, and they're leaving out a significant number of votes in Bridgeport."
