A recount is not necessary, they said, because his lead is too large to reverse.

An attorney for Sen. Mark Warner’s re-election campaign said Wednesday that there is no basis for a recount in Virginia’s Senate race and that the Democrat has “achieved victory” in Tuesday’s cliffhanger election.

 

Recounts “really only happen where you are talking about dozens or a few hundred votes separating the candidates,” Marc Elias, chairman of the Perkins Coie political law practice, told reporters.

 

The Associated Press has not called the election for Warner. With all but one of the 2,557 precincts in the state reporting, Warner leads his Republican challenger Ed Gillespie by 16,727 votes, according to the AP tally. Warner has 49.2 percent of the vote to 48.4 percent for Gillespie and 2.4 percent for Libertarian Robert Sarvis.

Paul Logan, a spokesman for the Gillespie camp, added that a recount cannot be requested until after the state board of elections certifies the result, so the campaign will let the process play out.

Charles Judd, chairman of the elections board, said in a phone interview Wednesday that in any election with a 1 percent margin, “a recount should at least be part of the decision making at a campaign.”

But Judd said that changing an election outcome through a recount is a rarity.

The Dems are stealing CD2 in AZ. On election night, there were about 90,000 votes per candidate and the Republican was a couple of thousand votes ahead. Suddenly, to everybody's surprise, 71,000 "provisional ballots" were discovered, mostly from heavily Dem Pima County, and as the ballots are being counted, the Republican's lead is diminishing. About 1/4 to 1/3 of all total ballots cast were "provisional." That seems like a rather high number, and Pima is the most corrupt county in the state.

 

This is how elections are stolen, and it's underway right now. It would have been a GOP pick up, but now it's going to be a Dem hold. This is Gabby Gifford's old seat, back before Sarah Palin ordered her to be shot in the face by a Marxist.

Wasn't there some problems with her defeat in 2012?

Barber will be crowned the winner before this is done. Most of the ballots being counted are from Commie county Pima. I emailed Breitbart yesterday, so maybe they'll have a story....

Latest update (Fri night) with 3000 ballots from the rural areas and 10200 from Tucson.

 

Cochise 21,117 14,259
Pima 83,956 90,497
Total 105,073 104,756

 

McSally is up by 317. Was up 36x last night. Out of the 10200 from Tucson 455 advantage Dem. Out of 3000 from rural 400 advantage Rep.

 

Sounds like there is less than 1000 still in county and 10000 or so in Tuscon (although many are provisional so may be rejected).

 

It is going to be very close... probably less than 100 votes.
