Now Virginia Interactive is reporting that only 94.57% of the precincts are in. Glitch? A real change? (Still a 7,300-vote spread.) http://sbe.virginiainteractive.org/index.htm
They have just created virtual precincts for conditional votes, adding to the number of precincts. They have these virtual precincts for absentees also.
Thus the number of precincts has increased, as far as I can tell none of those already reporting (real and absentee precincts) have been zeroed out.
They are now counting these conditional ballots.
Conditional votes are generally not good for Republicans.
