Republican Eric Hovde refused Tuesday to concede defeat in the Wisconsin Senate race, casting doubt on the results despite a lack of evidence of any wrongdoing in last week's election.

Hovde said in his video that he was “shocked” by Milwaukee’s reporting of its absentee ballot results early Wednesday morning, despite the widespread knowledge that the state’s most populous city consistently reports its absentee ballots all at once early the morning after a major election like last week's.
