Mills drops request for recount in 8th District race

Stewart Mills has dropped his request for a recount in Minnesota's 8th Congressional District race.

The Republican challenger issued a statement Friday stating that he reached the decision "after much consideration, thought, and prayer along with consulting with my family and supporters."

U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan, DFL-Crosby, defeated Mills in the Nov. 8 election by 2,009 votes among the nearly 357,000 cast.
