| Description | At Daily Kos Elections, we try hard to verify the accuracy of the Pres-by-CD numbers we give you by calculating the numbers ourselves. We didn’t do this in a few states where the legislature provided these numbers for us. Apparently, we should have—at least in Virginia.
In its calculations, the Virginia legislature, in addition to providing too few significant figures, apparently also failed to include absentee votes in its calculations. (As a humorous sidenote, this all came about because David Nir and I were looking into the Virginia results, which showed VA-10 being “50% - 50%” and us wondering who actually won the district.) |
