ST. LOUIS -- Ed Martin has finally thrown in the towel.

After his long and aggressive campaign against Democratic U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan was extended by a close vote and some questions at the polls, the St. Louis Republican conceded the race to his opponent Monday.

In an email to supporters, Martin said he decided to concede after learning that the "surge" of votes tallied early Wednesday that gave the race to Carnahan were from more precincts than initially thought.

"In light of this new information, the implausibility factor evaporates along with my concerns about voter fraud in that late surge," Martin wrote. "And, although I have concerns about other incidents and improper conduct on election day, I no longer believe these concerns are sufficient to continue our review of what has occurred or delay agreeing that this election is over."
