Strap on your seat belts Virginia–94th is tied!

written by Guest Contributor Dylan Kelo December 20, 2017

As per Jourdan Pascale and several insider sources in the 94th District, Incumbent David Yancey (R) may just have a shot at keeping his job and Republican control of a house divided in what would be an unprecedented tie in the heated delegate race.

After making nationwide news yesterday as Democrat challenger Shelly Simonds apparently clinched a sea-changing victory by 1 vote, election judges are currently deliberating the fate of a single ballot in which marks for both candidates were penciled in.

The ballot in question had a mark next to both Simmons and Yancey’s name, which according to election law shall be considered an ‘overvote’ and not counted. However, this particular voter had CROSSED OUT the vote and the name of Shelly Simonds on the ballot, leaving an interpretation (see graphic above) set forth by the VA Department of Elections in 2015 for the elimination of the overvote.

Furthermore, the ballot in question aside from the Yancey/Simmons portion selected THE REPUBLICAN TICKET down the line. Word around the campfire is that group responsible for recounting the ballots yesterday dismissed the particular vote altogether over unscrupulous attention to detail or possible personal leanings.

The November 7th contest originally ended in a Yancey victory by 10 votes, until the recount determined (but yet to be certified) Simmons the winner by a vote of 11,608 to 11,607. This story is developing and will be updated as reports become available.
