VA Senate Race ^ | 11.07.2006 | Virginia Senate Race

[rface]

Virginia is reporting 92% precincts in .... so I am calling the Virginia Senate race.

Allen leads 1,052,606
Webb 1,033,221

......this is a 19,000 vote lead.

I am making it official

ALLEN WINS!

The polls in the western two time zones didn't close long ago and the MSM is already claiming dem victory.

I think there is an error in both the CBS and CNN county by county tallies (and if the statewide totals are the sum of the counties, the error flows through to the bottom line)

Isle of Wight is showing 12 of 13 precincts with 5050 votes for Webb and 6984 for Allen at the Virginia interactive website.

CBS and CNN are both showing 9,050 votes for Webb. Checking the vote totals for the other county races, the correct number is almost certainly 5,050 - unless 4,000 voters went into the booth and voted for Webb and failed to vote for congress and the statewide ballot question

Bottom line - the Allen margin may be 4,000 votes higher than CNN and CBS are showing

D Jim WEBB 1,141,052 50

[Spaghetti Man]

CBS is reporting Webb in the lead by 3,000

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

They're still using the exit polls for their "goons in the rooms" at the secret vault.

[BusiDad]

for some reason, that doesn't suprise me

[westfield3]

See post 122 CBS and CNN likely have a typo giving Webb 4,000 extra votes

[Spaghetti Man]

thanks west. starting to get a little bleary-eyed here.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

unless 4,000 voters went into the booth and voted for Webb

or stuffed?

There sure are a lot of "glass half full" people here.We've got Nancy Pelosi as the new Speaker of the House and maybe we hold onto the Senate by a couple of seats.Bush ain't a lame duck now, he's a dead duck !!!

FOXNews is now reporting dems win house, with less than 25% of the nation reporting enough to give any amount of a clue.

I see the DUmmies are quoting the Old Media and give Webb the lead - but the results I see still have Allen in the lead by 2000 with 99.18% reporting
