In another close recount from last Tuesday's elections, Republican Connecticut State Representative David Rutigliano is claiming victory.
Rep. Rutigliano tells WTIC News he won by 26 votes. A Facebook post from Democratic challenger Bill Mecca acknowledged the same count. Mecca is conceeding in the race, congratulating Rutigliano on his win. He plans to stay involved in the Town Council.
The Secretary of the State has not posted the results from the recount.
