The results of two legislative races in Maine are now official, with recounting coming to end on Tuesday.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said Tuesday that Republican Representative-elect Barbara Bagshaw was declared the winner over Democrat Dana Reed in a Windham House district. Bagshaw won by 23 votes.
In a southern Auburn House district race, Democratic Representative-elect Kathleen Shaw defeated Republican James Sorcek by 71 votes.
A third recount was conducted on Monday, resulting in a win for Republican Eric Brakey in an Auburn-area Senate district.
Those elections don’t shift the balance of power in Augusta, where both legislative chambers remain in Democrat control.
