The attorney general race was so close we are looking at a recount no matter how it looks at first take (a GOP win). All GOP lawyers in Virginia, and neighboring states, should attend the local electoral boards' canvasses beginning today and tomorrow, to watch procedures, vote certifications, and note any unusual vote tabulation changes or inaccurate certifications, with any irregularities to be noted and communicated up the chain to the state party and so on. We need some good people for the potential process: even if they cannot attend tomorrow, we would encourage them to attend each day they can this week through next Tuesday, the deadline for local electoral boards to certify their vote totals to the State Board of Elections. Get in touch with me, I can direct you to the Attorney-General’s legal team!

BTTT.
How close? As of now:
Precincts Reporting: 2,423 of 2,426 (99.88%)
Registered Voters: 4,451,163
Total Voting: 1,938,405
Voter Turnout: 43.55 %
McDonnell Rep 969,117 50.00%
Deeds Dem 967,632 49.92%
Write Ins 1,656 0.09% (The difference in votes between the two candidates is less than the write ins.)
do you know which precincts are not reported in ? AND, I noticed throughout the night the # of precincts reporting for the 3 offices were always different .. how is it that a precinct would report vote counts for one office and not the other three ? I worked many a closing and all votes were tallied for all offices before the call was made, so this didn't make sense to me
JAMES CITY COUNTY
Precincts Reporting: 14 of 16 (87.50%)
Registered Voters: 40,827 Total Voting: 20,699 Voter Turnout: 50.70 %
McDonnell Rep 11,364 54.90%
Deeds Dem 9,316 45.01%
Precincts without reported votes:
Central Absentee Precinct ( C003)
Roberts B (0502)
RICHMOND CITY
Precincts Reporting: 66 of 67 (98.51%)
Registered Voters: 101,064 Total Voting: 49,087 Voter Turnout: 48.57 %
Deeds Dem 34,583 70.45%
McDonnell Rep 14,461 29.46%

"Central Absentee Precinct" might be important. In Fairfax County alone McDonnell got 6,144 absentee votes and Deeds got 8,790.
Thanks! This doesn't look real good esp with inner Richmond
Bump for your information!
Ping for FReeper help needed, please ping to anyone relevant. Thanks.
Isn't that an oxymoron?
100 % of precincts have now reported in:
McDonnell WINS by 1,480 votes:
McDonnell (R) 968,687 49.99%
Deeds (D) 967,207 49.92%
As of 1:17 the margin is down to 1,323 (968,815 to 967,492).
"These UNOFFICIAL RESULTS have not been certified and are subject to change as data is corrected by the local electoral board."
I hear there will be a recount after Nov 28th.
