Election officials in Wyoming and Georgia certified the incumbents as winners in two close races yesterday. Their challengers did not concede and had 48 hours to ask for a recount.

In Georgia, Rep. John Barrow (D) defeated Republican Max Burns by 864 votes out of more than 140,000 cast. In Wyoming, Rep. Barbara Cubin (R) beat Democrat Gary Trauner by about 1,000 votes out of nearly 200,000 cast.

Barrow's victory means Democrats successfully defended every seat they held in the House and Senate, as they rolled to majorities in both chambers of Congress during last week's voting.

Since they were both incumbents, there's no change in the total number of dems vs repubs in the House, but still, the Dems didn't lose a single seat in this election. That's a message from the voters.
