8. might? how many dems voted absentee to avoid blackbox vote machines?

the absentee ballots are going to go dem overwhelmingly and the 5k votes that webb is down will also be made up even without them.

[soothsayer]

9. have they been counted already? Lookee here:

How is my mailed ballot counted?

Mailed absentee ballots are counted on Election Day in the Central Absentee Precinct (CAP). Fairfax County uses optical scan equipment to count paper ballots. Please follow the marking instructions on your ballot and return it in the envelopes provided. Be sure to fill in ALL the information on Envelope B, including; your full name, legal address, your signature, your witness's signature and a date. Anyone, including your spouse, family member or neighbor, may serve as your witness.

4. Richmond is still out.

[NastyRiffraff]

6. No way should you concede VA!

Everyone is still saying it's too close to call, and it's probably heading for a recount (mandated by law if there's a difference of less than.5%).

We probably won't know for a few days, after the absentee ballots are counted.
