Virginia

[Person Man]

Does anybody know when the Virgina results will be officially announced?

From what I've read, there are only some 4.000 provisional ballots left to count in VA and Warner is ahead by 17.000 right now. The result should be more or less final.

Does Gillespie have the right to recount?

Yeah, the votes will be certified by the end of November.

If Warner's margin is still within 1% by then (which is likely), Gillespie can request a recount.

If the margin would even decrease to within 0.5% (which is unlikely), then VA has to pay for that recount if he requests one.

Gillespie hit hard on the "votes with Obama ninety-something percent of the time" stuff.  Harry Reid's tight control of the Senate agenda, not letting anything come up that might split his caucus, deserves some of the thanks for moderate Democrats having such a hard time this cycle.

The other thing that hurt Warner was being caught in McCauliffe's efforts to try to get Phil Puckett to stay in the Senate by giving him an incentive to stay/removing his disincentive to leave, which tarnished his image as being above partisan dealing.  Warner wasn't ever really able to respond to this.
