Undecided Races
Three races were too close to call Wednesday:
* Florida: A recount was underway in the South Florida 22nd District congressional race between veteran GOP Rep. E. Clay Shaw and Democratic challenger Elaine Bloom. Shaw held a slim 614-vote lead.
* New Jersey: Democratic Rep. Rush Holt had a 56-vote lead over Republican Dick Zimmer in the 12th District. A recount was considered likely.
* Washington state: Republican Sen. Slade Gorton had 3,197 more votes than Democrat Maria Cantwell, but tens of thousands of absentee ballots have yet to be counted. Washington voters were required to postmark their ballots by Tuesday evening.
