Fairfax County is rescanning roughly 20,000 ballots from multiple early voting sites after there was a technical issue with a thumb drive the votes are stored on, according to Fairfax County's Office of Elections Public Information Officer, Brian Worthy.

County officials said there is a paper trail of votes cast and staff are working on them as of now.

Worthy told WUSA9 that the county had some problems with the thumb drive votes are recorded on. He said this thumb drive holds 20,000 ballots from four early voting sites.

Rescanning the thousands of ballots from those early voting sites means early voting numbers reported a while back are incomplete, according to Worthy.

He said the county will accurately count the ballots and will update with new numbers. As of 8:30 p.m., there is no estimate on new numbers but, they are working on it.

58,000 lead with 95 percent reported. NY Times site.

Not good.

Lead less than 2 percent. Within cheating distance — maybe not tonight but by the end of the week.

Will FoxNews wait on calling a winner in Virginia until the Democrats have finished counting in the middle of the night?

Keep a list of Tyrants. Virginia has a motto.

[caww]

It’s like you have to wait until THEY’VE decided who won rather than actually who one.

Youngkin up almost 3% with 95% in...they would have to put the printers in hyperactive to win now.

McAuliffe is toast.

The DamnOrats would like nothing more than to take this election to the courts where they have an opportunity and advantage to STEAL another election.

Plenty of professionals in Fairfax county.

[Fester Chugabrew]

As long as there are fearless poll watchers to make sure every vote is properly counted the left is cooked. Is that a tall order?

[wintertime]

Fraud Fraud Fraud.

At 60% in, they were predicting about 3,080,000 votes total.

Now it's 3,338,000.

Merely a technical issue...

[Jewbacca]

Scan until they hit 300000000 votes from the 500000!

So predictable.

Rescanning 20k ballots which will miraculously produce 200k more votes for the demonrat.

Loaves, fishes and Democrat “votes”...

[kvanbrunt2]

Only Democrats can’t scan a stinking piece of paper. There are places that scan goobs of stuff and reconcile the numbers all day long every day.

[ConservativeMind]

You “rescan” by getting the originals and scanning them—not rereading a file on a drive.

[kvanbrunt2]

They will need about 400K mcawful votes extra i think

Loaves, fishes and Democrat “votes”...

So true. I don’t recall any election, ever, where the suspicious slow-rolled vote “count” and the resulting additional “votes” resulted in the Republican pulling ahead and winning. 100% of the time, it results in the dem “winning.”

As they say, what are the odds?
