Mitchell hopes lead over Hayworth holds up

Nov. 12, 2006 12:00 AM


Congressional hopeful Harry Mitchell's lead over Rep. J.D. Hayworth remained at nearly 6,000 votes as ballot counting extended into its fifth day.

Mitchell heads to Washington today for orientation sessions. The Democratic challenger of six-term Republican Hayworth has made no claim of victory, but he appointed a former congressman to help him prepare for setting up offices if he wins.

Hayworth, who had 75,163 votes to Mitchell's 80,820 by Saturday afternoon, said has said he intends to wait until every ballot is counted. Even if Hayworth concedes, all remaining ballots from the 5th Congressional District would be tallied.
