Updated, unofficial results show that the winner of the 90th House District in the Nov. 3 election is incumbent Rep. Craig Fishbein, R-Wallingford.

Previously, the win had been called for Democrat Jim Jinks.

The updated vote tally has Fishbein beating Jinks by 21 votes, according to the CT Mirror.

Due to the slim margin, an automatic recount will take place on Thursday, Nov. 12.

The updated vote tallies are the result of the Wallingford town clerk discovering there was no record in the state’s reporting system from the Yalesville elementary school.

The updated vote tally is:

Fishbein - 7,058 votes,

Jinks - 7,037 votes.
