From the Franklin News Post:
Three years ago in the race for attorney general, Republican Bob McDonnell was certified the winner over Democrat Creigh Deeds after the recount, which added 37 votes to McDonnell’s victory total of 360 votes.
McDonnell won with the closet margin in a statewide election in Virginia. About 2 million votes were cast in the race for attorney general. Both McDonnell and Deeds are running for governor in next year’s election. There was also a recount in the 1989 governor’s race between Democrat Douglas Wilder and Republican Marshall Coleman.
[…] Maybe Texas democrats should read the Virginia headlines. […]
