| Description | Republican Renee Ellmers, who will likely face a recount in her bid to unseat Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-N.C.), appealed for help Thursday from the National Republican Congressional Committee.
The NRCC declined and Ellmers isn't happy about it.
The Republican said she asked the committee for help covering the costs related to a looming recount — Ellmers leads Etheridge by some 1,600 votes and earlier this week the incumbent signaled his intention to request a recount.
After elections officials discovered a counting error in one of the state's counties, the Republican's lead over Etheridge shrunk. The difference between the two is now less than 1 percent of the vote, enabling Etheridge to ask for a recount. |
