Clarke led by more than 4,700 votes with just the absentee ballots in the city of Milwaukee left to count, and shortly before midnight, Moews refused to concede. Shortly thereafter, Clarke told supporters he felt good about his chances but would not declare victory until all ballots were counted.
"We like where we're standing right now," he said.
When the last of the absentee ballots were counted early Wednesday, Clarke had beat Moews by 4,644 votes.
