Behavior of that sort doesn't do anyone any favours.

Anyways, that's quite a bit closer, right? The same thing happened in this district at the last normal election. So... if his election had been a tad closer, would it have bee possible for a wrong winner to declare victory and get seated (I think that's the American term)?
Correct verb American style, but no. It is highly unlikely that Turner would have been seated if there were some loose ends. The Dems would have howled. It would have required them to have been silent. But if he were "seated," and the numbers were reversed, he would have been "unseated."
Those uncounted precincts seemed to have never been counted, however (I checked and the numbers did not increase). They must have merged precincts, and nobody told AP. Thus the margin was less, because the "uncounted" were mostly in the Pubbie zone.
