VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — A three-judge panel overseeing a recount in a close Virginia Beach state House race upheld the Republican candidate’s victory on Friday, a decision that also reaffirms the GOP’s takeover of the chamber and completes the party’s sweep of last month’s elections.
Republicans also claimed the statewide offices of governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general in the Nov. 2 balloting. Those wins were a dramatic turnaround in a state where the GOP had not won a statewide race since 2009. Democrats still hold a 21-19 majority in the Senate — where elections won’t be held until 2023 — splitting control of Virginia’s state legislature.
The certified results from the election showed Republicans leading in 52 districts and the Democrats leading in 48. The recount in the 85th District race resulted in Democratic incumbent Alex Askew gaining 12 votes, but he still trailed Republican challenger Karen Greenhalgh by 115 votes. There was one contested ballot. The panel found that the intent of the voter was unclear, so that ballot was not counted for either candidate.
After Democrats requested recounts in two races with razor-thin margins, that left open the remote possibility of a 50-50 split.

Nice...
The count was being watched and cheating was held to a minimum.
A complete GOP takeover of state control...
Where’s the beef?
What has changed?
Great news!
In the 2020 elections the democrats expected to GAIN ten chambers. They LOST three.
Now they’ve lost another.
If that’s what it takes, so be it. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Doom-and-gloom and despair of the type we had between the elections of November 2020 and this November accomplish nothing but the breeding of demoralization and defeat.
Will they restore anything the Democrats removed after the Floyd riots?
This happened because we had 93 percent of the Virginia polls covered by R poll watchers as opposed to the typical 10-15 percent of the polls in the State of Virginia. If you are in another of the 49 states, I strongly recommend that you volunteer; it takes time and can be tiring but its well worth it only if we come forward to defend our Constitution and our principles and thereby our country. Members of my family spent a year in the swamps doing this under much tougher, life-threatening circumstances - we all can do the same for just a few days.
Good! Now, get BUSY and reverse all of the dumb@ssery that’s been going on in your state.
(Is anyone holding their breath?)
Wisconsin had a super-majority all the while Governor Walker was in office and while it resulted in a lot of tantrums and public destruction of property by the tightly-wound Socialist Democrats, he got a LOT accomplished, most of which we are still benefiting from today. :)
Dems still have control of the VA State Senate. It was a sweep for Repubs in the 2021 statewide elections. The VA State Senators will be up for election in 2023.
I don’t think the new Republicans will take over until Jan. 15 2022.
I see...
Thxs...
>The count was being watched and cheating was held to a minimum.
If anything, no one on the right side realized how far the dems were willing to cheat. No one will investigate after our win in 2022, either.
🤔they still have majority soooo ...yeah, where’s the beef? I don’t see the pubs have control.
“Doom-and-gloom and despair of the type we had between the elections of November 2020 and this November accomplish nothing but the breeding of demoralization and defeat.”
Of course, it does, but my biggest problem is weak-kneed Republicans that won’t speak to their base. Let them know that they will stop cheating this time. That there was massive cheating, but we can do better and we let you down. You’re essentially saying all elected Republicans should keep their mouth shut about the massive cheating in VA.
It does not matter that Biden is destroying the country from within and the whole republican party turned a blind eye to the massive voter fraud. That Facebook can dump 440,000,000 dollars to support this cheating with no repercussions.
And yes our morale is down because of gutless cowards in our party.
VA
1,971,820 Obama
1,981,473 Clinton
2,413,568 Biden (+22%)
That can be fixed rather easily by making a flip deal with 2 rodents. I’m sure the senate Republicans have already heard from a few rodents willing to talk surrender already.
Yahoo!!!
at least three, possibly four of those dumocrats would have lost if they ran this year so they want to keep their jobs. That is the incentive to lurch rightward.
YEAH BABY
Oh FReeper naysayers
will you PLEASE stop saying we can’t win elections?
Yes there is voter fraud. Yes there is corruption. We can acknowledge that AND STILL WIN. I believe the poll watchers were KEY in this victory.
Every state! Every county! Every city!! Go be a poll watcher, work a precinct, put some skin in the game! It can be done.
Which is one of the reasons why the Rats are going hammer and tongs after Steve Bannon.
And they will come after us too - I’ve had friends who own restaurants in Blue States tell me that they have lost long term customers when they found out they were Trump supporters. But we cannot refuse to participate in elections on the basis that the left will target those who do; we have millions of Americans on our side and there really is strength in numbers that can make it much harder for the election thieves to hide their dirty work.
