Latest on Virginia House of Delegates

[Va Lefty]

Basically article says we are down 84 votes in the 28th District; 115 votes in the 40th and 13 votes in the 90th District.

Provisional ballots are supposed to be counted by Monday, and recounts in the three remaining races cannot commence until the election results are certified shortly before Thanksgiving.

"If just one district turns our direction, we’d have a tied House of Delegates — if two change our way, we’d have the first Democratic majority in nearly 20 years."

1. Thanks for the update. A majority or tie would be wonderful,

but the Repubs' rule is over for this term, no matter what happens.

2. Yes in a tie Dem. Lt Gov. Justin Fairfax would be the tiebreaker.

4. Unless they do a power sharing like in 1995

I'd hope the Va Dems wouldn't agree to that IF we get one more seat.

Although there are some loose nuts there, the GA seems to work fairly well with each other.

5. At least our supermajority is over,

in case it means something significant anytime soon.

14. Got all my fingers and toes crossed.

Getting a majority would be huge because we could undo GOP district gerrymandering and break their lock on a number of seats.

15. What about that thread from yesterday where the election oficial was throwing out absentee ballots

and refusing to release names of those who voted provisionally?
