CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - The second place finisher in the Republican U.S. House primary for New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District is considering asking for a recount.
Stewart Levenson, a whistleblower doctor who flagged abuses at the state’s veterans’ hospital, had conceded victory early Wednesday to Republican rival Steven Negron, a state lawmaker.
The winner of the hard-fought primary will face Democratic U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster, who faced no primary opponent.
