Some people seem to be under the impression that the results changed sharply after Owens was seated -- and parts of the Syracuse Post-Standard story you linked to make it sound that way ("Now a recanvassing in the 11-county district shows...") -- but on a close reading, it isn't so. The story even supplies a link to the "Updated" returns, dated 11/5 -- a whole week before the story. I checked the Congressional Record to make sure.
