I was looking at the precincts that were out.
There are 20 - 3 in Prince William, 1 in VA Beach, and 1 in Loudon. The rest are pretty rural areas. I don't know where CNN gets it numbers.
There will be a recount. I think the absentees should put Allen over the top.
No one has given a straight answer as to whether the VA absentees were counted at the same time, or if they are still outstanding. Anyone? Until we know that, all is speculation.
