Love Widens Lead Over McAdams

Rep. Mia Love widened her lead over Democratic challenger Ben McAdams on Monday after a morning update from Utah County. Love, a two-term Republican congresswoman, is currently winning the race by 1,516 votes, or 0.58 percentage points, outside the margin for a recount in Utah’s 4th Congressional District. Counties must certify their election results by Tuesday, and thousands of votes remain outstanding in Salt Lake County, where McAdams has so far captured a majority of votes. But since jumping ahead on Election Day, McAdams has seen Love steadily bite into and ultimately reverse his winning margin.
