1. Just this once, I will applaud the Libertarian. nt

2. It was a nail biter, but I'm glad that McAuliffe pulled it off.

Pity that Herring lost the race for Attorney General by a hair.

3. will there be a runoff???

4. Provisional votes haven't been counted yet

see eg http://electionresults.virginia.gov/resultsPREC.aspx?type=SWR&rid=169&cty=001&osn=6

There will surely be a runoff - a candidate can ask for one at state expense if they lost by less than a half percent, and this is way under that.

6. Good, I thought the count was final.

Maybe Herring will get lucky.

8. recount if less than 1/2 %, not runoff.

There are runoffs sometimes when no one gets more than 50%, I have never heard of having a runoff because the margin was slim. It is a recount which can be asked for at state expense.

9. You're right - I was thinking 'recount', even as I repeated 'runoff'

Brain fart on my part.

5. The pre-vote polling too far off from the 'real' vote. Should be investigated for fraudulent actions

7. The "real" vote

and the polling were very close.
