Two recounts appear likely in tight Virginia House races

Days after Democrats conceded control of the Virginia House of Delegates to Republicans, they walked back that concession as two key races in which the GOP holds razor-thin leads appeared headed for recounts.

As of Tuesday, vote counts show Republicans with 50 seats and holding slight leads in two additional seats that have still not been called by The Associated Press. Democrats have 47 seats and are leading in one other district that has not been called.

In both districts where Republicans are leading, the margins are under 0.5%, which allows candidates to request state-funded recounts.

In District 91, Democrat incumbent Del. Martha Mugler conceded to Republican challenger A.C. Cordoza Friday. Mugler's concession was quickly followed by a statement from Democratic House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn, who acknowledged that with Mugler's concession, the Republicans had control of the House, with 51 seats.

Recounts in Virginia don’t flip races, especially on these margins. I know that the doomers want to desperately latch on to any bad news, but either of these flipping is a near statistical impossibility.

The betting markets see it that way too.

Now, now. You know the Free Republic doom-and-gloomers are desperate for bad election news lately—why ruin their fun?

When our side wants to contest a close election, we’re told to “let it go,” and stop being sore losers.

The Democrats will fight until they find enough votes in car trunks, even if it takes months. Then they instantly decide to stop counting, and everyone nods their heads and says “that’s fair.”

Vote. Vote. Vote.
Don’t let doomers dissuade you.
We just need to survive this year and continue taking over the party.

Democratic House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn

Filler-Corn? Sounds like the ingredient listing on a box of cereal.

As we read car trunks are being opened all over Northern (Socialist) Virginia only to find boxes of ballots.

A democrat judge will rule that these ballots must be counted.
