Steele Says He Won't Concede Maryland Senate Race

Posted at 10:28 PM ET by Dan Gilgoff

The Associated Press and other news outlets may be calling Maryland's Senate race for Democratic candidate Ben Cardin, but Republican Michael Steele won't be conceding anytime soon. "They're basing this on exit polling, but as we've seen in the last two, four, six years, exit polling is not always accurate," says Steele spokesman Doug Heye. "We'd like every vote to be counted." With roughly 400,000 absentee ballots to be counted in Maryland, Heye says not to expect the contest to be resolved anytime soon.
