Democratic state Sen. Mark R. Herring took the lead in the extraordinarily tight Virginia attorney general race Monday evening, after he picked up more than 100 previously uncounted votes in Richmond.
Herring had started the day trailing his Republican opponent, state Sen. Mark D. Obenshain (Harrisonburg), by a mere 17 votes out of 2.2 million cast. But as jurisdictions across the state continued to scrub their vote counts, the State Board of Elections showed Herring with a 117-vote lead late Monday.
Lawyers from both parties have descended on elections offices in Fairfax County and Richmond. Meanwhile, the campaigns said they were cautiously optimistic but were bracing for a long, drawn-out battle, which appears almost certainly headed to a recount and could seesaw again.
“We’re always excited to see the movement go to our favor, and we’re just going to make sure over the next few weeks and however long this plays out that every single vote counts,” said Ashley Bauman, press secretary for the Democratic Party of Virginia. “Because I think in the end, we feel confident that our candidate will be on the winning side.”

Of course, within the margin of Dem fraud.
You'd better believe it. There MUST be double-blind vote counting for any level of integrity to be practiced in elections anymore. That means that NO precinct results will be released early - ALL voting districts transmit their results SIMULTANEOUSLY. Otherwise, the Dems know just how many "votes" to manufacture to bring it to this close of a count.
they count til they win.....
That's what I've been thinking as well. First couple of times it happened I thought the rats just pulled it out but over and over again?
Therein lies the culprit and I don't know why it's allowed to go on. I personally don't think any votes should be counted until they're all in.
Guess the news folks wouldn't like that but they're calling elections before anyone's actually elected.
I’m a practical guy. The fact is that we are having elections stolen in this country, always by democrats. It’s a national joke but nobody does anything about it. That repulses me more.
Believe it or not, a Republican stealing an election would probably do more to give us an honest electoral system than anything else, just because the democrats and their compliant media lapdogs would go nuts over it.
Absentee is their biggest vote cache. People have gone to jail for this and it doesn't even slow them down. For the cause I guess.
You are so right.
Where did they come from? If from some precinct somewhere, weren't there poll watchers from both parties present to guarantee that they were counted accurately and on time?
Smells to high heaven, but the wimpy Republicans will ultimately do what they are told and shut up.
Bush/gore.....
The ‘rats tried, but the law stood in their way.
Isn’t it amazing how the Democrats always seem to “find” the votes necessary just when they need them?
Democrats cheat.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
If the VA Secretary of State is a republican, this would be an opportunity for turnabout.
Just playing by democrat rules.
It’s amazing how consistently this works out for the Dems. If they count the votes enough times, they always “find” more ballots and win the close ones.

And the counting continues and more Rat votes are found...
And when he starts bouncing your head off the sidewalk, that's what the CCW is for.

The GOP needs to find it in themselves to really fight this one.
It’sin our face before Thanksgiving. Perfect time for Godless to take over.
