Recount in Conn. Gives Democrat Win

By SUSAN HAIGH
Associated Press Writer

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- A painfully thin lead for Democrat Joe Courtney on election night last week shriveled to an even narrower victory following a recount in all 65 towns in Connecticut's 2nd Congressional District.

With the roller-coaster recount that uncovered vote-counting flaws in several towns, Courtney eked out a 91-vote victory over three-term Republican Rep. Rob Simmons, according to results tabulated by 65 town clerks and reported to The Associated Press.

On election night Nov. 7, he led by 167 votes of nearly 250,000 votes cast.

"This is doing it the hard way," Courtney told the AP on Tuesday.
