WI-SEN: Wisconsin GOP Senate candidate weighing options after race called for opponent
Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde released a video Tuesday questioning the Wisconsin election results that show he lost to incumbent Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D) last week.
Many people have been wondering why I have remained quiet since election night. I believe its better not to comment until I have the facts, Hovde says in the video he posted to social media.
Hovde said he went from receiving congratulations calls to doubting a shocking loss after more than 100,000 new absentee ballots were reported.
Like many of my supporters, I was shocked by what unfolded on election night. At 1 a.m., I was receiving calls of congratulations, and based on the models, it appeared I would win the Senate race, he said. Then, at 4 a.m., Milwaukee reported approximately 108,000 absentee ballots, with Sen. Baldwin receiving nearly 90 percent of those ballots.
