WRC Channel 4 initially reported that DEMs kept control of the VA Senate at the beginning of the 11 pm news. At the end of the news, they reported that GOP may have won the last seat. This would put GOP over the top - but there will be an obvious recount ...
Even WMAL’s news at 11p reported that the count in the Houkk/Reeves race was “CLOSE” with only 85 votes separating the cadidates and the Republic ahead despite the D being ahead all night. AS IF there were more counting to do.
At 95 votes separating them that was with 100% precincts reporting. Yeah, there’ll be a recount, but for tonight the counting is over but the newscaster couldn’t bring herself to say that. I tracked the race all night and Reeves was ahead except a brief period. Damned lying miserable press.
