OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Around 13,600 ballots remain to be processed and counted in two counties to determine who will represent Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District for the next two years in Washington.

By Wednesday morning, Democrat Brad Ashford had nearly 49 percent of the vote to incumbent GOP Rep. Lee Terry’s 46 percent. Libertarian Steve Laird had about 5 percent.

Terry’s campaign says he’ll be making an announcement at a news conference on Wednesday afternoon. A spokeswoman declined to say whether Terry intended to concede the election.

Douglas County election commissioner Dave Phipps says about 13,000 ballots from early voters remain to be processed and that the counting will begin Friday morning. Sarpy County election commissioner Wayne Bena (BEH’-nuh) says nearly 570 provisional ballots remain to be processed and then counted this week.
