| Description | "Rep. Paul Scott said final vote counts showed him losing by 232 votes, despite the delay in getting precinct reports up on the Genesee County elections website.
"I accept the results," Scott said to a somber crowd of supporters at his Grand Blanc headquarters.
Scott said he will spend the coming weeks and months making a decision about whether he will run again in 2012
Despite months of fighting to avoid today's recall vote, Scott said he's done challenging the recall.
"The community's just been through too much. ... It's time to move on."
He is the first state lawmaker recalled since 1983.
Scott’s opponents sought to recall the second-term lawmaker for several reasons, including his votes to cut K-12 education funding, add a pension tax and his work on legislation that loosens teacher tenure protection." |
