Too close for us to go to sleep with any resolution.

I scanned the returns and it looks to slightly favor the Dems, but very slightly.

I'm excited for the Dems. I hope we all pull it off!

G F Allen Republican 1,141,753 49.44%
J H Webb Jr Democratic 1,139,885 49.36%

those numbers are from the VA state election page....

for those of you who don't read Greg Palast....you f'ing should.

5-7% ain't good enough....how many votes did they throw AWAY in VA??

sigh.....

and the machine cranks on....

[msanthrope]

25. Maccawitz is going down.......n/t

[spooky3]

26. MSNBC also reporting this but VA SBE is not

http://sbe.virginiainteractive.org/

But sbe site shows that Fairfax still has lots of votes to be counted, and FF has voted strongly Dem so far (go to detailed district results--T. Davis' district)

[spooky3]

28. SBE site is reporting nearly the reverse

Allen 1141753
Webb 1139885

[Divine Discontent]

31. thank you!

someone noticed this...

the virginia website says the OPPOSITE and has shown that all night, but the TV stations are showing the #'s for the wrong/right guy????

I guess the website is wrong, right?

[The_Casual_Observer]

27. Can you dig it?

[ohtransplant]

30. I hope the Dem party learned it's lesson...

regarding recounts. Boots on the ground is what counts. They need to start locking things down and flying in the lawyers NOW!

[keopeli]

32. VA election website shows the numbers favor Allen.

Office: U.S. Senate
Precincts Reporting: 2423 of 2443 (99.18%)

J H Webb Jr Democratic 1,139,885 49.36%

http://sbe.virginiainteractive.org/index.htm

Recounts are not a bad thing. Our last recount in WA state went from R to D.

[neo-con]

34. 99%???

If 99% is in why isn't he being declared the winner?

[Hissyspit]

37. They're all talking about RECOUNT, now.

But you make a good point.

[MikePorter]

42. margin of error

because it is still within the margin of error...
the .8 of 1% is about 19,000 votes that still need to be counted

[ohtransplant]

36. ???

I just took these results off the web site and they look like they're opposite of what's ben posted???


G F Allen Republican 1,141,753 49.44%

J H Webb Jr Democratic 1,139,885 49.36%


:wtf:

[file83]

99 % of votes
Jim Webb (DEM) 1,143,144 49%
George Allen (REP)* 1,140,879 49%

[caligirl]

39. Mc Caskill can still win this too, precincts not yet counted are in her

area of support, CNN reported about ten minutes ago. she has many more votes to her side. talents votes have largely been counted.

[codjh9]

41. I sure as hell hope so!

[GetTheRightVote]

43. I am crossing my fingers and my heart is pounding so hard, please

let it all happen for our nation and our change in direction.....

:kick:

[Pachamama]

44. When the official results are in: Mr. Webb, do not concede!

I say this as someone who worked with pollworkers around the country and many in Virginia today. Based on the reports we received, there is absolutely no question in my mind that there was a deliberate effort in Virginia to disenfranchise voters, through intimidation and other misdeeds.

Mr. Webb - I believe this race is yours - please fight for it and make sure EVERY VOTE IS COUNTED!

:patriot:

[NYC]

55. FBI looking into voter intimidation in Virginia.

The internet is moving slowly for me tonight. I can't get the link now, but there is an article about the FBI looking into voter intimidation.

[MikePorter]

46. VA SBE Update - Webb Leads

J H Webb Jr Democratic 1,148,750 49.44%
G F Allen Republican 1,146,952 49.36%

[ohtransplant]

49. Declare Victory NOW!

Lets's get him sworn in before any recount. (Where's Hastert when you need him?)

:evilgrin:

[Laelth]

47. Very interesting that ...

... if all the votes that went to the Ind. Green candidate went to Webb instead, Webb would have the election in the bag. It's no wonder that the Republican Party loves to throw money at the greens.

Reminds me of 2000 and New Hampshire.

:mad:

-Laelth

[anotherdrew]

50. in the US greens as a party is useless, now a green 'wing' of the dem party...

that would work

[Laelth]

62. Agreed.

Heck, most of us here are the green wing of the Democratic party. Still, we have to vote "D" and not "G" or the Repukes win.

-Laelth

[xyboymil]

51. MSNBC reporting 33K votes in Fairfax Co. still not counted (heavy DEM)

Heavily Dem. area...

Woot!

[msanthrope]

53. George Allen Just gave a Weaslly Concession Speech......

I think he knows he lost it, but he avoided having to congratulate Webb.....

[Hepburn]

54. Yep, that is exactly how it hit me, too.

Allen knows he lost ~~ and from looking at the faces of the others on the platform with me, it was even IMO more clear.

[upi402]

52. when ballot boxes are opened, wil Republican worms crawl out?

I wonder if there will be criminality exposed if Allen can't make a concession speech and head it off.
1% margin is an automatic recount in VA I hear.

[beckstcw]

56. That small of a margin=recount nt

[tozion]

57. WHY ISNT ANYONE TALKING ABOUT MO???????? HELLO ?????

McCaskill
813,003

Talent
799,007

[Hissyspit]

58. I have a thread about that in LBN, too.

[ShortnFiery]

59. Hell, winning by 1 vote is a landslide as long as it's true.

Last year VA had a recount and it didn't flip the vote AT ALL in favor of the challenger. Therefore, Senator Macaca best get up in a few hours to work on his concession speech. If he doesn't, a fair recount will, given recent history, and the fact that the 33,000 yet to be counted votes are in a TRUE BLUE county (Fairfax) ... recount or not, Senator George Allen is out of a job. YES! This is good. ;)

[eliphaslevi]

60. 99.63%

Precincts Reporting: 2434 of 2443 (99.63%)
Registered Voters: 4,555,672   Total Voting: 2,354,606   Voter
Turnout: 51.69 %

 J H Webb Jr 	 Democratic 	1,167,037 	49.56%
  G F Allen 	 Republican 	1,159,226 	49.23%

http://sbe.virginiainteractive.org/index.htm

[ShortnFiery]

61. If Webb expands his lead by .13% with those 33,000 Fairfax ballots

He will be over the 1% margin of victory. Yes, Allen can still insist on a recount BUT his campaign will have to pay for it (State wide!) and the odds of the votes flipping to his side are small to minute. :-)
