Votes certified; Mathieson to seek recount
The Virginia election results were certified tonight by the State Board of Elections and there were no particular surprises.
Bob McDonnell still won in a landslide. House Republicans still picked up six seats.
However, one of those House seats is going to take a little longer being finalized thanks to (soon-to-be-former) Del. Bobby Mathieson (D-21). The man whose name is part of a Freedom of Information Act request associated with a congressional run, has stated that he will be requesting a recount against Del.-elect Ron Villanueva, who won by fourteen votes.
While Mathieson is provided that prerogative under law, it is taxpayers who will have to foot the bill.
Apparently thirty-three voters turned-in “write-in” ballots.
