NEW: Mattiello Tops Frias in House District 15, Following Mail Ballot Count
Thursday, November 10, 2016
Speaker of the House Nicholas Mattiello had 3582 votes to Steve Frias' 3517 in House District 15, after the Board of Elections completed its mail and absentee ballot count on Thursday for its unofficial vote count.
Frias announced following the results that he is not conceding the race, after filing a complaint earlier on Thursday alleging voter fraud in at least one instance, which the Board decided to continue -- meaning if Frias wants to pursue the complaint still, the Board will take it up next Wednesday.
