Democrat wins Virginia Senate recount, giving Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s agenda a crucial boost
Democrat wins Virginia Senate recount, giving Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s agenda a crucial boostBy Laura Vozzella,
VIRGINIA BEACH — Democrats prepared to seize control of the Virginia Senate on Monday after winning a recount by just 11 votes in a razor-thin special election, giving Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s first-year agenda a crucial boost.
....
Both parties closely watched the recount in the Hampton Roads-based district because of its outsize importance to the balance of power in the Capitol.
Going into it, Del. Lynwood W. Lewis Jr. (D-Accomack) was ahead of Republican businessman Wayne Coleman by just nine votes. His lead grew to 11 by the end Monday after officials recounted some votes by hand and teams of lawyers from both sides wrangled over a handful of contested ballots. The final tally was 10,203 votes for Lewis and 10,192 for Coleman.

Is he related to the Coleman that Al Franken beat in Minnesota?
