AP: Turner Defeats Weprin

The Associated Press has declared that Republican Bob Turner has defeated New York State Assemblyman David Weprin in the race to succeed former Congressman Anthony Weiner.

With roughly 70 percent of precincts in New York's Ninth Congressional District reporting as of late on Tuesday, Sept. 13, Turner defeated Weprin by a 53-47 percent margin.

Weiner resigned in June after lewd pictures and text messages he tweeted and sent to women became public.
