Surprise, surprise....the Democrat “significantly” lengthened his lead in the recount. Funny how it is ALWAYS the Democrat who wins these “long, drawn-out” recounts. The law of averages ought to have the Republican win once in a while.

Shame on you, VA, for turning your state over to the Obama cult.

“Shame on you, VA, for turning your state over to the Obama cult.”

In that case, it is more likely the Clinton Cult.

It actually makes sense when you think about it. The "tough" ballots -- where the intent of the voter may be clear, but which tend to screw up machines (partially filled-in ovals, for example, or something else depending on the technology used in your state) are generally the fault of less educated, downscale, low-information voters. Who do those folks tend to vote for? Democrats. So it makes sense that in recounts, the Dems will generally pick up votes from rejected, challenged or provisional ballots.

Not to suggest there isn't ALSO hanky-panky going on, just saying that the law of averages is misleading if voter bases are different.

Demography is destiny. 30% of Fairfax County is foreign-born compared to 15% in 1990. VA is changing and will become more and more Democrat due to immigration and the domestic migration of liberals to NoVA to be around the honey pot called Washington DC. You can kiss VA off in Presidential elections. We have reached the tipping point.

The laws of statistics dictate that the partisan winning percentage over many recount elections should approach 50%.
If one side leads by more than a few percentage points over many elections, then there definitely is partisan-based fraud occurring.
I wonder if anyone has ever compiled a list of all close elections requiring a recount and what the final result was.
