Hold that concession speech.

Democratic challenger Nate McMurray is demanding a recount less than two hours after he conceded the race to indicted Republican incumbent Christopher Collins.

The Associated Press has Collins with 133,412 votes, McMurray with 130,316 votes and Reform Party candidate Larry Piegza with 5,737 votes.

McMurray had conceded the race around 11:06 p.m.

But in an email sent out at 12:48 a.m. Wednesday, the Grand Island town supervisor who was behind in the tally by just 1 percent, called for a recount.

"Mr. Collins is going to need another set of lawyers," he said.

McMurray mounted his long-shot campaign earlier this year with scant expectation of winning. But in the aftermath of Collins' indictment in August on federal insider trading charges, his star burned brighter. In recent weeks, polling showed him edging closer to unseating three-term incumbent Collins, but most polls still gave Collins a slight edge.

The 27th Congressional District is one of New York's most solidly Republican, and Collins, R-Clarence, Erie County, resoundingly won his third term in 2017 with 67 percent of the vote. President Donald Trump had a 24-point edge there in the 2016 elections.

The 27th District encompasses 105 towns spread through all of Orleans, Genesee, Wyoming and Livingston counties, as well as portions of Erie, Monroe, Niagara and Ontario counties. State data shows the district has about 490,000 registered voters, about 31 percent of whom are Democrats and 39 percent of whom are Republicans. About 20 percent of registered voters have no party affiliation.
