Okay, this is the part I don't understand.
I remember in Florida in 2000, military votes cast overseas had up to ten days after the election to be received and counted. Does Virginia have a similar rule?
If so, how many military votes are out there?
I'm not sure what the rule is. But the vote will not be certified until November 14 (or thereabouts).
I would anticpate that the miltary votes are included in the anticipated number of absentees. But they may not yet be reflected in vote count.
Either WTOP or WFLS (not sure which the car was tuned to at the time) said yesterday that the military ballots have until midnight of the Monday following the election to arrive.
I am very upset at what I am seeing in our party. It appears the Republican's in office are GIRLY MEN as they won't stand up to anything the Dems do and won't even fight to make sure they really did lose in an election. If Webb had lost by a couple of 1000 votes in VA how many weeks do you think the race would have drawn on? He would have fought. I wish Allen had the GALL to do that as well.
One thing that REALLY needed to be done while they had the majority was to get firm voting laws in all states and make all voters provide a PICTURE and OFFICIALLY ISSUED ID before casting a ballot!!
SHAME ON THE REPUBLICANS FOR NOT GETTING THIS DONE WHILE THEY HAD A CHANCE. The ramifications for this are too bleak to put in words.
