GOP's Jean Schmidt Declared Winner In Contested Ohio Race...
More than a week after Republican Rep. Heather Wilson (news, bio, voting record) claimed a razor-thin election victory, her Democratic challenger conceded Tuesday, saying a recount would cost too much and there was no guarantee it would reverse the result.
In Ohio's 2nd District, Rep. Jean Schmidt, a Republican, clinched re-election Tuesday. Additional ballot counts gave her an insurmountable edge of about 3,200 votes over Democratic challenger Victoria Wulsin.
