Conn SOS declares Malloy winner...sore loser Foley won't concede.

HARTFORD — — Dannel Malloy has won the election for governor, and there will be no statewide recount, Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz announced this afternoon.

Bysiewicz said unofficial election results showed Malloy, the Democrat, defeated his Republican opponent, Tom Foley, by 3,103 votes out of more than 1 million cast, above the threshold of 2,000 or fewer that would trigger an automatic recount.

Nancy Wyman, the state comptroller, won the lieutenant governor's job and will preside over the state Senate.

This morning, Malloy had anticipated Bysiewicz's announcement. "After a long night I am confident that when the secretary of the state certifies the results of the election Nancy Wyman and I will be declared the winners, and that a recount will not be necessary," he said in a statement released by his campaign.
