State Sen. Mark Herring's (D) attorney general campaign said Monday that the Democrat had had a net gain of 20 votes in early results of the Virginia attorney general recount.

According to Herring campaign attorney Marc Elias, Herring had seen an increase of 55 votes while state Sen. Mark Obenshain (R) had gotten 35 new votes according to early results. According to the Herring campaign that brings the total from 165 to 185 votes in Herring's favor.

The results came midway through the day of the recount requested by Obenshain. Herring campaign attorney Marc Elias told reporters on Monday that the campaign was "more confident" than ever that Herring would win the recount.

Elias added that the Herring campaign expects the recount to be completely finished by Friday.

1. The recount is still going on?

At this rate there'll be another election cycle before the final recount is done.
