Elections to be certified.
Virginia state law says in the event of a tie in a state House race, the
winner is chosen “by lot,” which could include a coin toss, according to
The Washington Post.
The race carries enormous consequences for the Virginia House of Delegates.
Republicans held a 51-49 margin in the House before the recount, and a
victory by Simonds would have given Democrats 50 seats in the lower chamber
for the first time in two decades.
A three-judge panel has ruled that a Virginia state House race has ended in
a tie one day after a recount appeared to show the Democratic candidate
defeating the Republican incumbent by a single vote.
According to the The Virginian-Pilot, the three-judge panel, which was
convened to certify the results of the recount in Virginia’s 94th District,
agreed to examine a ballot that had been ruled as invalid during the
recount after an official wrote a letter to the court saying the ballot
should have been counted for Republican incumbent Del. David Yancey (R). |
