Democrat Kim Humphrey has conceded to Republican Suzanne Miles after results from a recanvass from Tuesday’s special election showed no change in the previous tallies.

Miles won the race by more 100 votes for the 7^th District state House seat. The special election came as Democrat John Arnold of Sturgis resigned amid sexual harassment allegations from legislative staffers. The Republican win whittles away another seat of the democratic majority in the State House.
