Schellinger Won't Step Down, Checking Election Results

(INDIANAPOLIS) - Democratic candidate for Indiana governor Jim Schellinger is not ready to concede.

Campaign Spokesman Tim Jeffers say it's still too close to call. He says there are still nine, maybe ten, precincts in the state that have not been counted. He says the uncounted precincts could add up to as many as 7,000 votes.

Currently, less than 5,500 votes separate Long-Thompson and Schellinger. Long-Thompson is already claiming victory.

Jeffers says it could take days to sort out the numbers. He says they will recanvass Indiana counties to double check election returns.
