As convention ends, Virginia Republicans wait for governor nominee to emerge
RICHMOND — A Republican Party desperate to reverse its fortunes in a state it hasn't won for more than a decade turns its eyes Sunday to a hotel ballroom, where vote-counters will tally thousands of paper ballots — over and over again by hand — to come up with the party's nominees for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general.
Following a nominating convention like none other, the counting is expected to take days. But some candidates at Saturday's convention sounded ready to move right to November's general election.

On the ballot for the party’s gubernatorial nod: state Sen. Amanda F. Chase (Chesterfield); Del. Kirk Cox (Colonial Heights), a former House speaker; retired Army Col. Sergio de la Peña; former think tank executive Peter Doran; businessman Pete Snyder; former Roanoke sheriff Octavia Johnson; and Youngkin, a former Carlyle Group executive.
A crew of about 60 will begin at 1 p.m. Sunday to tally the ballots by hand, a method three gubernatorial contenders demanded amid fears that vote-counting software the party was considering could be rigged against them.
