Somehting funny going on in VA

[Perky]

there were 20 precincts left

2 reported in and suddenly Webb has a 3800 vote surge from two precincts? Does not compute. Maybe they fat fingered some erlier numbers or something. But that just does not make sense.

1. could be big ones in an urban area

not all are created equal. Some in the hick areas have 5000 in the WHOLE COUNTY.

2. There have been strange corrections all night long

This is going to be a long night - or tomorrow!!

6. Yeah, and who's watching over those ballots?

overnite. until the morning. CNN says they'll count the provisional ballots tomorrow. Are dem lawyers all over this? Anyone with info on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

3. Yeah... I'm SO PISSED WEBB'S AHEAD NOW!!!!!! Oh, Wait.... Huh?

:wtf:

[Maven]

4. Why not?

I'm not sure what you find suspicious. They may have been strongly pro-dem precincts (?)

[Perky]

11. I am elated with the result I just find it a bit stunning that's al;

Besidbes the absenteess are going to break for Webb anyway so this seems to have gone blue.

7. If they were from the city of Richmond, I'd say it's possible.

Richmond still has 4 precincts left to report.

May have also been Petersburg -- don't know when they wrapped up, but I was keeping an eye on them, too.

8. Greg Palast said something funny would happen in Virginia.

He hasn't been wrong yet as far as I know. This isn't over.

9. Richmond City is heavily populated and heavily Democratic. n/t

[bj2110]

10. There was one big precinct left in Norfolk City, and only four in Richmond City at that last update

[BlackVelvet04]

12. Large, democratic urban areas. Makes

perfect sense.

15. I don't find that weird if they were urban, heavily populated precincts

with strong Dem presence, i.e. northern Va. area.

16. 18 precincts still to report.
