the "count" won't help Allen.

Webb won with votes that came in with the last .5% that reported - I believe those votes were provisioinal ballots, cast in Dem district held back from reporting until they knew how many votes Webb needed to move ahead.

unless Allen is prepared to challenge those, its over.

The canvassing might, if there were transcription errors. You never know. The race is simply too close to just fold until all the votes have been counted and canvassed.

I don't think that is correct. I was watching the results come in last night. The last reporting precincts were mainly precincts from Democrat urban areas and the slightly-Democrat leaning Northern Virginia Loudoun and Prince William County suburbs. More than one precinct was out in many of those areas, especially in Loudoun County, Arlington and Richmond.
