PHOENIX (AP) — Democrat Ron Barber has won a full term representing Arizona's 2nd Congressional District, squeaking out a win over Republican Martha McSally and giving Democrats a sweep of the state's three competitive races for U.S. House seats.
Voters decisively picked Barber to fill out the remainder of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords term in a special election in June, but last week's election was for a full term and was so tight it took until Saturday before a winner was clear. Barber and McSally each held leads since election night, with a difference of only a few dozen votes at times, before Barber steadily began pulling ahead.

Gotta get your committees straight. The NRCC (National Republican Congressional Committee) is charged with House of Representative elections. It’s Chair over the past term was Pete Sessions (TX); incoming Chair is Greg Walden (OR).
Do the dems ever lose when results are close?
They lost the biggest one ever in 2000.
Thanks for the correction.
Dems never lose close elections or re-counts...NEVER.
Alan West will soon find that out.
No, it doesn’t. The blog entry you reference is wrong on many points, as has been explained where it was actually posted here (well, linked here as blog pimps are want to do).
The decree requires that the RNC pre-certify any voter fraud investigations that could target minorities. But the court has never rejected an RNC plan. Well, that’s because the RNC has NEVER filed a plan.
The decree doesn’t stop the RNC from doing anything — the RNC has never planned to do anything.
I am angry the stupid party never makes a big deal about voter fraud. It has grown to gargantuan proportions---and it is REAL--not a tactic of the losing party to complain/whine.p>vaudine
