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.
This morning the State Board of Elections report Reeves with 22,536 (50.01%) and Houck with 22,450 (49.82%) and 70 write-ins. Reeves won all areas (often not by much) except the City of Fredericksburg where he only got 37.23%. Is the City really that liberal or was it the college (MW)?
