Linda Ketner's defeat was narrower than you may have thought

Charleston City Paper's Greg Hambrick writes about how early reports of Linda Ketner losing by a wide margin to Henry Brown are inaccurate.
He says: "Linda Ketner lost her race for the 1st Congressional District by a hair, not a mile." The actual difference was just over 4%, a bit more than a hair, but substantially less than the 6% and 12% that was seen in earlier results.
