House Republicans' majority could tighten by another vote after Tuesday's special congressional election in Buffalo – at least, temporarily. Voters are choosing a replacement for Higgins, a longtime House member who cited the "slow and frustrating" pace of Congress before resigning in February. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, Pool, File)
