An excerpt...
"Republican Robert F. McDonnell won the closest-ever race for Virginia attorney general by 323 votes, but Democrat R. Creigh Deeds tomorrow will demand a court-supervised recount of the election.
The state Board of Elections this afternoon certified the results of the Nov. 8 election, with McDonnell getting 970,886 votes to 970,563 for Deeds. "I have full confidence that I won," McDonnell, a former state delegate from Virginia Beach, said in a telephone interview.
Larry Framme, a leader in Deeds' challenge to the results, said the Bath County Democrat will ask for a recount of the results in a court petition to be filed tomorrow morning.
"We don't know who won this race," Framme told reporters.
A three-judge court would oversee the Nov. 8 tallies and lawyers from both sides believe that the recount will be completed before a new attorney general is inaugurated Jan. 14." |
