James P. Hoffa Jr. is asking for a congressional investigation into the Teamsters election that he has apparently lost. At a news conference today, the son of labor leader Jimmy Hoffa challenged a discrepancy between an estimate of ballots returned, and the number of votes actually counted. The U.S. Postal Service reported that it had received thousands of ballots more than were counted. NPR's Don Gonyea reports.
