Herring's listed lead is 616. Obershain gets (I believe) 193 more votes from Buchanan. So the margin

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
AP has fixed Loudoun error. HOWEVER, it has not fixed Buchanan error, which means Herring's "true" lead is more likely 416, not 616.

So who knows what the count actually is.

should be 423 for Herring.

(10,500 posts)10. That brings Herring's lead to 440 votes, with 4 precincts outstanding. I'm not sure about absentees,
or provisional ballots, which may be plentiful due to Cuccinelli's voter roll purge.
