Timothy R. Flaherty announced that he will not seek a recount in the special election for a Mass. State Senate seat, thereby conceding the victory in the Democratic primary to Everett City Councillor Sal N. DiDomenico.
Flaherty, a Cambridge lawyer, had announced on his website on election night last Tuesday that he would seek a recount, citing “voting irregularities in Everett.”
Galluccio’s resignation opened a special election for the seat, which six Democrats vied for in the primary last Tuesday. DiDomenico beat Flaherty and the other contenders by 135 votes, according to The Boston Globe.
In the general election on May 11, DiDomenico will face Independent candidate John Cesan, a resident of Agawam.
Local political pundit Robert Winters said that Flaherty and DiDomenico were the two frontrunners throughout the campaign, and that both were likely to run again in September regardless of the outcome of the special election.
