We have one more recount in Virginia in the 28th district. Republican Bob Thomas is in the lead by 82 votes. The 28th is Speaker Bill Howell’s district. Unless something changes in that recount the map below, by Christian Heiens, is the final map for the House of Delegates 2018.
Light blue areas are the districts that were flipped from Republican to Democrat.

Oh look! The GOP Congress critters are boarding a fleet of buses for the long arduous trip to the white house for a photo op.
Why didn’t they rent horses and carriages instead? Get back to work!
The moral hazard of government spending lures folks to where the most trickle down spending will benefit them.
I love the state and seriously considering moving to a red area or out completely.
So why don’t we in the red counties immediately petition for our own state or six in which at least one new state could be called “New Virginia.” Just imagine how we could embolden our fellow red county voters across the fruited plan to file similar petitions in their states for the same political divorces we have been longing for decades while continuing to have our votes held hostage by blue city voters miles away.
Why do I feel like a physician observing the spread of cancer throughout a body?
A majority of Virginians would vote Republican – for fiscal responsibility that is not hateful … BUT Republican leadership – in the current tax reform – are NOT fiscally responsible
AND
whether you like it or not, believe it or not, MOST Americans – and likely MOST Virginians ‘feel’ that Republicans are race-baiting, racists out and out, or at least bad for race relations:
60 Percentage (60%) of Americans said President Trump’s election has worsened race relations in the U.S., according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center. In this regard, the president has surpassed expectations: In Nov. 2016, only 46 percent of Americans said they expected race relations to get worse under Trump. [Pew Research Center]
The Dem legal beagles will be hard at work to find every crevice they can to try to stop the 28th district results from being certified.
The federal court in which the Dem lawsuit is filed seeking to have a re-vote in the 28th is in no rush to rule. That will give the Dems a want to not allow Thomas to be seated until the case is resolved. Could make for a few plot twists for opening day of the General Assembly.
I saw Bob last night and asked if he had a flak jacket available to wear because he’s going to need it. Suddenly all eyes will be on him for the balance of power in VA.
This is what a map of California looks like. It’s also what most other states look like as well. A precinct here or there changes the future.
