For Nate McMurray, the Democratic challenger in the 27th Congressional District, the race is not over yet. He told WBFO this morning he will pursue a recount of votes in Tuesday's election which saw incumbent Chris Collins win by a few thousand votes and he will ask national Democratic Party officials for help in that cause. Beyond that issue, McMurray reflected on his long shot campaign in the most heavily Republican District in New York. Despite the results, he called the election "the greatest honor of my life."
