It's official

The Democrats will control the House and Senate in the 110th Congress. Conrad Burns, as expected, conceded earlier today, and at 3:00pm George Allen put to rest the possibility of a recount and conceded.

The conservation community did not have much success with Sens. Allen and Burns, to say the least. We congratulate Senators-elect Tester and Webb and look forward to working with them to keep our public lands open, protect endangered species, keep our air and water pollution free, and the fight global warming. Webb and Tester were endorsed by the League of Conservation Voters. They have prepared brief environmental outlines for them as well as the other endorsed candidates who won here.
