Final House Race Decided; GOP Net Gain: 63 Seats

Rep. Tim Bishop (D) has defeated Republican challenger Randy Altschuler in New York’s 1st district, a victory finalized by an Altschuler concession Wednesday morning in the nation’s final outstanding House race that cements GOP gains in the 2010 House midterms at 63 seats.

I'm surprised in this day and age that we still have states with a single House seat.  I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.
