CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) -- The final state canvass shows Representative Barbara Cubin winning a seventh term, but Democratic challenger Gary Trauner is still holding out the possibility of a
recount.
In a telephone interview from his home in Wilson, Trauner says he's got 48 hours to make a decision on a recount and he hasn't decided whether to do so or not.
Under state law Trauner must ask for a recount no later than Friday. The recount would be conducted in all 23 counties, and Trauner would have to pay for it unless the recount changed the result of the election.
The State Canvassing Board certified the election results Wednesday.
While the race remained very close to the end, it still wasn't close enough to trigger an automatic recount.
