A SUN STAFF REPORT
LOWELL -- The campaign of Democrat Niki Tsongas declared victory over Republican Jim Ogonowski at about 9:10 tonight, and the Associated Press sent a bulletin five minutes later declaring Tsongas the victor.
With 86 percent of precincts reporting, she had 51 percent of the vote to 46 percent for Ogonowski.
Tsongas, 61, could be sworn in as early as Wednesday to fill the seat once held by her late husband. The seat was left empty in July when Democrat Martin Meehan resigned to become chancellor of his alma mater, UMass-Lowell.

Here's what I've got (these are unofficial numbers). With 137 147 168 of 196 precincts:
Tsongas 38,501 40,782 46,542
Ogonowski 36,395 38,673 41,508

Hold onto your hats. I'll update as I hear more. Tsongas is the winner. Congratulations to her and her hardworking campaign staff!
UPDATE: I'm hearing that WBZ has called it for Tsongas.
Further UPDATE by Charley: Lynne is telling me 53-47 will likely be the final result, once all precincts are in. Matt Murphy of the Lowell Sun says it's over. Niki declares victory.
