This story made me change my mind about voting. Every single vote matters. Talk about a razor thin margin of victory. Congratulations Ms. Simonds!

It looks like the court ruled the recount invalid and they will decide the winner by drawing straws or pulling it from a hat.

Virginia has voter ID. Ms. Simonds won by one vote in the recount. These were live legal registered voters who voted for a Democrat. But Republicans couldn't accept losing, so they challenged the legal results of the election.

The thread is false. It was a tie.

Even so, Chalk another victory up to giving convicted felons the right to vote.

Democrats usually do better in recounts. It takes a while to get those votes from dead people counted.
