CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) -- The race for Wyoming's lone U.S. House could be headed for an automatic recount.

The race remained too close to call Wednesday, although incumbent Republican Barbara Cubin said she was certain she'd beaten Democrat Gary Trauner -- wasn't waiting for someone else to declare a winner.

"I'm calling it," Cubin said in an interview from her home shortly after midnight Tuesday. "I just feel really gratified that we're ahead, and I'm sure that we won the election."

Trauner, who was seeking to become the first Democrat since 1976 to win Wyoming's House seat, wasn't so sure and said the vote difference was so thin that it appeared an automatic recount would be triggered.
