A Democratic congressional challenger in Indiana who refuses to concede began identifying precincts for review by a state commission, in one of three House races that remain undecided. Thomas W. Ward is seeking a recount of the 3rd District race in which incumbent Republican John Hiler was certified as the winner by 66 votes. In an unsettled race in Minnesota, Democratic state Sen. Collin Peterson claimed victory over GOP incumbent Arlan Stangeland, although a final vote showed Stangeland leading by 221 votes. And, in North Carolina, Democratic challenger Robin Britt asked for a recount after GOP incumbent Howard Coble was declared the winner by 82 votes.
