Martha McSally has won a recount over far left extremist Ron Barber and has won a seat in the House of Representatives in Arizona’s congressional district #2. McSally will give the Republicans a final total of 247 seats in the House of representatives, as this was the last race yet to be decided in the 2014 election. This is the district seat, once held by Gabby Giffords.

The Democrats ability to cheat finally ended at Martha McSally. Of all the races yet to be decided on election night, all of them magically went to Democrats, via their voter fraud or whatever. But they could cheat their way to beat Martha McSally.
Republican Martha McSally has prevailed in Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District over Democratic Rep. Ron Barber following a recount after initial vote totals showed McSally ahead by fewer than 200 votes.
Results unveiled Wednesday by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Katherine Cooper — more than six weeks after the Nov. 4 election — showed McSally ahead by 167 votes. McSally, a retired Air Force officer and the first female to fly in combat, previously led the vote count by 161 votes, but a mandatory recount followed because the margin was not wide enough.

“There’s no getting around that this was an incredibly close and hard-fought race,” McSally said in a statement after officially being declared the winner. “After what’s been a long campaign season, it’s time to come together and heal our community. That’s why my focus will be on what unites us, not what divides us, such as providing better economic opportunity for our families and ensuring our country and community are kept safe.”
McSally’s win adds to the GOP’s historic 2014 gains in the House. When the new Congress convenes in January, Republicans will control 247 House seats, compared to 188 for Democrats.
