ANNAOLIS - Dan Cox acknowledged to supporters gathered at an Annapolis hotel Tuesday night it's "not looking good" in his bid to be Maryland's next governor.

"I'm not going to lie to you. This is a very difficult race. I'm not doing as well as I'd hoped in places like Baltimore County," Cox said.

Cox spoke for about four minutes, thanking his wife Valerie and running mate Gordana Schifanelli.

Cox did not concede the race, although Wes Moore claimed victory amid AP projections of Moore's victory.

Cox says many of the outstanding votes to be counted are Election Day votes.

"It's just a very possible situation with the votes still to be counted," Cox said. "If we pull of 60-65 percent of those, we can still win this. Very, very, very possible."
