One week after the election, the bad news for Republicans this morning: In Virginiaโ€™s 11th congressional district, the outer suburbs of Washington D.C., Keith Fimian is conceding defeat to Democrat incumbent Gerry Connolly. He is not seeking a recount; the current count shows Fimian trailing by 981 votes, or four-tenths of one percent of all votes cast.

The good news for Republicans is that in New Yorkโ€™s 1st congressional district, the numbers look good for Randy Altschuler. He leads by 393 votes, and of the absentee ballots waiting to be counted, 3,953 are registered Republicans, 3,611 are registered Democrats.
