Reynolds Wins As Opponent Withdraws

Senator Jim Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City, will retain his Senate seat without further legal battles after his opponent, Democrat David Boren, withdrew his challenge this afternoon.

Boren's had complained that alleged irregularities occurred in the Senate District 43 race.

A hearing on the complaint was scheduled for this afternoon in Oklahoma County District Court, but Boren withdrew the complaint because, he said, he didn't have time to round up witnesses.

In a recount conducted last week, Reynolds gained two votes.

Boren is not related to OU President David Boren.
