Becchi Doesn't Concede 11th District To Sherrill: Election 2020

NORTH JERSEY - The Associated Press called the race early, and U.S. Representative Mikie Sherrill responded gratefully, but challenger Rosemary Becchi is not conceding defeat in the 11th District Congressional race.

"There are many unanswered questions today, with more than 200,000 votes left to be counted. We want all voices to be heard in this election," Becchi said. "Republicans showed up on Election Day to vote, and they made an impact in many races across the country."

At last count, Sherrill held a 141,932 vote count over Becchi's 100,261 tally.

"The vote by mail process is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and we may not know the final results of this election for days and weeks to come," Becchi said. "We feel that when all votes are counted, we have a chance to win this race."
