LINCOLN- A tight general election race for Lancaster County attorney General been decided between Pat Condon and Adam Morfeld. Out of over 110,000 votes cast, the race was decided by a difference of 781.

On Tuesday evening votes trimmed Lancaster County Attorney Pat Condon’s lead over his challenger, Sen. Adam Morfeld, by about 120 votes. Condon has 55,880 votes to Morfeld’s 54,839.

According to the Election Commission, about 220 resolution ballots cast on Election Day, as well as 1,850 provisional ballots, are left to count later in the week.

Morfeld needed to receive about 75% of the remaining votes to flip the race, and it would have taken a solid majority just to get the race within the margin needed under state law to trigger an automatic recount. State statute says an automatic recall takes place if any race is separated by a margin of “1% or less of the votes received by the candidate who received the highest number of votes for the office” in a race where more than 500 votes are cast.

Morfeld thanked supporters saying, "I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your steadfast support over the last two years and beyond. Whether you voted for me, volunteered, donated, or just cheered us on from afar, your support meant a great deal and sustained me!"
