Cooler Heads Prevail: Rep. David Davis Will Not Ask For A Recount
By Kleinheider Posted on August 15, 2008 at 9:46 amThough, he wants you to know, that he totally would have won if he had:
“I am announcing today that even though I have the law on my side, I have decided not to pursue an election contest with the Republican Primary Board. I love East Tennessee and I love America, therefore it is in the best interest of everyone concerned that I concede the election to my primary opponent. I have contacted Mr. Roe and made him aware of my decision.
“May God Bless the First Congressional District and may God Bless America.”
