2017 Virginia HoD Thread

Good idea , thank you!

To be honest, I initially expected something like 55-45 for the Pubs, but I'm going to be bold and saying something more like 52-48 for the Pubs instead. I mean, you Hillary won 48 seats by more than 5 points (51 total), so I suppose it is possible.

Congratulations on being the only one to get this right.

We don't know the final results in every district, so you really can't say that yet.

Well he said 52-48 republican and he’s anywhere from 0 seats off to 5 seats off.
I can’t name anyone else who even got close.

If the Virginia and DC suburbs continue to trend Democrat, Virginia becomes Washington state in terms of voting Democrat by 2022.

VA wont become more Democratic than OR .

BREAKING News

Thankfully the spread there is wide enough to make a change in outcome unlikely.

I honestly thinks it’s a waste of money for a recount.

[Keep cool-idge]

The democrats better not rig the election!
Even if yancy holds by 1 vote it’s over the gop holds the HOD.

What happens if there is a tie?

[Keep cool-idge]

Welp looks like yancy may hold on by 1-6 votes.
Shows every vote counts.

[Keep cool-idge]

We all know those dastardly Democrats bused in 800 black people from Baltimore anyway, so the real margin is Yancey +803.

Okay that is BS.

[Keep cool-idge]

Tribbet say Yancy +2 with two contested, News Reporter Lady (sry) say 3 with contested. So we are all up in the air.

Could be tied.

[Keep cool-idge]

Yancy is up 1 vote!

[Keep cool-idge]

A good theme for this recounting process.

did Greedo just get Rossi'd or...?

Lol nooooooo because this was a change on first count unlike rossi.
But there should be a rerecount because the result seems to have changed.

It is still to close to call in my view 1 vote either way is insane!
I think a second recount is in order!

Nah, bye 👋🏻

Really the vote changed we need a second count to make sure yancy lost!

[Keep cool-idge]

How weak of the gop to give up a seat by 1 vote!
No I don’t think this is rigged but there should be a recount.

[Keep cool-idge]

Wait, isn't Greedo's gripe with the 2004 Washington race the fact that they did multiple recounts? But now he wants a second recount here? lol

Okay the difference with Washington 04 and HD-94 is

Yancy won the first count by 10 votes
Rossi won the first count by 250ish
Yancy lost the second count by 1 vote
Rossi won the second count by 40ish votes
Rossi then goes on to lose in the third count by 110ish votes

So the reason I want a recount is because the result changed in 04 the first 2 counts were the same.

In the Virginia it changed with yancy losing by 1 vote I think that when there is a recount that changes the actual result they should do a extra count.

There should have been a third count in Minnesota in 08 and a fourth count in Washington in 04.

That's a fair point. Honestly, in a race that is decided by a single vote, it wouldn't be surprising if the result changed each time you recounted. In something that close, even 99.99% counting precision wouldn't be enough to give a clear victor.

So it looks like we agree then that a third count would be good to sort out any errors there could be.

I’m soooo happy I called as to close to call yesterday.
This is insane that a flip if a coin is going to decide the entire control of the HOD.

[Keep cool-idge]

Here's (roughly) what that ballot looked like:

Lol you can all cry but that person voted republican so yes it is a tie.

[Keep cool-idge]

So you progressives all call this race rigged yet when the result fits your need like in 04 WA GOV RACE or MN 08 SEN RACE you all claim it’s fine you NOW get a taste of your own medicine.

Consider this:

This ballot right here for MN-Sen 2008 was rejected as an overvote.

In this case, it is 100% obvious that they wanted to vote for Franken.

In the case of this, it is not clear how the voter intended, yet they count the vote?

Different then the VA issue.
That person wrote in lizard people for president and senate so I’m going to guess that person is a troll.
This Virginia ballot is a typo why would someone vote for Gillespie Vogel and Adams then vote dem for the HOD? They saw they filled in the wrong box and fixed it.

The same could be said of you.

This ballot was not found in like a trash bag unlike Washington or Minnesota.
It’s a ballot they didn’t want to count because of over voting but tome it’s clear that this person voted republican for HOD and made a typo.

The MN person circled the box for Lizard People for Pres, but left the Sen box un-circled.

The VA ballot also had a cross out for Gillespie, not just for Simonds.  And there were more crosses in Gillespie.

But that person didn’t fill in anyone else for governor.
Plus this person still voted for Vogel and Adams so I’m going to guess that this person made a typo and it should be counted.

[Keep cool-idge]

Regardless there should be a recount.
