Democrat Ben McAdams narrowly defeats Republican Mia Love in Utah House race
Two weeks after Election Day, the final results are in for Utah's 4th Congressional District, with Democrat Ben McAdams defeating incumbent Republican Rep. Mia Love by fewer than 700 votes, The Associated Press projects.
Love is the first and only black female Republican in Congress, and was seeking a third term. About 269,000 votes were cast in the election, and had Love received 20 more votes, under state law she would have been able to request a recount.
