My last update for the night, going to an appointment. One of the other watchers should start another thread to keep people informed.

Results going haywire over at VA SBE site. Now says Herring (D) up 32 votes. Let's see where that's from...http://electionresults.virginia.gov/resultsCTY.aspx?type=SWR&rid=169&osn=6&map=CTY …

Only 2% of the regular ballots of Fairfax county showed no vote for AG race.

Reports are showing that 25% of absentee ballots have no AG vote.

This would be an astronomically high percentage for absentee ballots where you would expect the ratio to be roughly even, or even possibly higher as absentee ballots are the result of a more conscientious effort.


Edited to add new tweet:

Dave Wasserman ‏@Redistrict 40s
Fairfax Co. reports that out of 281,880 in-person voters, 277,048 cast ballots in #VAAG race. But out of 29,406 absentee, just 22,453 did.

Some Fairfax Co. Democrats still claiming that there are roughly 3,000 absentee votes there unaccounted for, per source. Conflicting reports

from earlier thread:

Cognitive_Resonance (991 posts)

67. Urgent: Anyone who voted a provisional ballot needs to contact 1-855-910-VOTE (8683)

According to the Herring campaign, thousands of provisional ballots were cast. Herring can win this if the votes are counted.

1. Maybe Boysko and Bell can win, too

That would end the veto proof House of Delegates--just one winning would!

4. Just noticed and edite OP.

I suspect that somebody's numbers are off, that just doesn't make sense, and fortunately absentee ballots leave a paper trail.

8. Herring up by 32? (Probably an error.)

Prince William County reporting 759 new votes for Mark Herring (D), 0 new votes for Mark Obenshain (R). If correct...wow.

Those 759 new Herring votes appear to be from Washington-Reid precinct in eastern PWC. Looks like an error to me.

9. Lots of new stuff coming out on Wasserman's twitter page

WOW is right!
