Stupak Seat Up For Grabs By One Vote

From The Escanaba Daily Press

ESCANABA - Two U.S. House candidates are each claiming victory following Tuesday's primary election. However, which candidate will reach the ballot in November's general election is up for debate, with a single vote being the deciding factor.

One vote. That's the difference today between 1st Congressional District candidates Dan Benishek of Crystal Falls and Jason Allen of Allanson. A recount may decide the winner.

Both men were running as Republican candidates seeking to fill the seat currently held by Congressman Bart Stupak, D-Menominee. Stupak announced earlier this year that he would not be seeking re-election to the seat he has held for the past 18-years.
