Unresolved races at a glance

AP - Details on House races in which the outcome remained undecided:

• New Mexico, 1st District: Republican Rep. Heather Wilson (news, bio, voting record) led Democrat Patricia Madrid by just over 1,100 votes out of more than 200,000 cast. Officials hoped to finish counting roughly 1,500 remaining votes by late Friday.

• North Carolina, 8th District: Rep. Robin Hayes (news, bio, voting record), a Republican, led Democrat Larry Kissell by about 450 votes. About 1,500 provisional ballots remained to be counted. County election boards met Friday to count provisional ballots and hoped to certify results.

• Ohio, 2nd District: Rep. Jean Schmidt, a Republican who called decorated Vietnam veteran Rep. John Murtha (news, bio, voting record) a coward, was ahead of Democrat Victoria Wulsin by about 2,800 votes. Workers were to begin counting as many as 10,000 provisional and absentee ballots next week.

• Ohio, 15th District: Rep. Deborah Pryce (news, bio, voting record), a member of the House Republican leadership, leads Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy by 3,536 votes. Thousands of provisional ballots need to be recounted, but results won't be announced until Nov. 27 because of a dispute over a new voter identification law.

• Rep. William Jefferson (news, bio, voting record), D-La., the subject of an FBI bribery investigation, will face fellow Democrat Karen Carter in a Dec. 9 runoff, and Rep. Henry Bonilla (news, bio, voting record), R-Texas, will face Democratic former Rep. Ciro Rodriguez (news, bio, voting record) in a yet-unscheduled runoff to happen no sooner than Dec. 12.

• In Florida, a first recount was completed Tuesday in the contest for the seat Rep. Katherine Harris (news, bio, voting record) gave up to make her failed Senate run. The Associated Press has declared a winner in that race: Republican Vern Buchanan, who leads Democrat Christine Jennings by about 400 votes, or less than 0.02 percent.
