2:04 PM: O'Neil concedes

Dem Trish O'Neil has called Republican Keith Ripp to concede in their contest for the 47th Assembly District.

Ripp maintained his narrow lead over O'Neil after a recount this week for the open seat. His win means Dems will control the chamber 52-46 with one independent.

A spokesman for Assembly Dems tells WisPolitics in an e-mail that there was some confusion about whether O'Neil might go to court after the recount, but "that isn't going to happen."

The Republican Party of Wisconsin put out a statement yesterday congratulating Ripp on his win. See it here.
