Springfield City Councilor Tim Allen says he will not seek a recount in a state senate race. That’s after Allen lost the Democratic primary to Eric Lesser by about 200 votes. Allen was not eligible to seek a district-wide recount. But he could have requested recounts for individual wards, precincts, or towns. Allen had until 5 p.m. Thursday to submit paperwork for any recounts.

“I did considerable analysis just talking to election officials, looking at numbers, etc., and decided not to pursue it,” says Allen.

Allen wouldn’t say whether or not he’ll support Eric Lesser in the general election. Lesser, a former aide to President Obama, will take on Republican Deb Boronski in November.
