As expected Democrats will file for a recount in the 28th district in Stafford County where Republican Bob Thomas leads by 82 votes. His opponent, Democrat Joshua Cole, has confirmed he will file for a recount.
In an unexpected action, Delegate G. Manoli Loupassi ( R-Richmond) has filed for a recount in his 68th district after conceding to Democrat Dawn Adams on election night. Adams won by 336 votes out of 39,000. If the results hold Adams, who has PhD in nursing, would be the first lesbian to serve in the House of Delegates, along with the first socialist and the first transgender woman. From the Richmond Times-Dispatch,
“We are requesting the recount just to make sure everything is in order here,” Loupassi said in a statement Thursday night.

Given the close vote for Manoli Loupassi he only lost because of his rude and condensending attitude toward his constuents. He doesn’t pass the likability test. I voted for him – but still, I stood in the voting station – pen in hand and hesitated thinking, “I really don’t like this guy.” While he got my support, I know that many of my neighbors have the same opinion. Enough of them voted against him or didn’t vote at all to provide the winning margin for a hard line feminist and goofy opponant. There’s a lesson in this one for elected officials.
I hope PLENTY of Republicans will volunteer to take part in those recounts. 4-1 would be good numbers. Plenty of eyes on the proceedings!!
That would be a great ratio if you want the R’s to steal the elections – since they can’t win it fair and square.
Oh Eric, you’re a riot. ?? Democrats hold ALL the credentials on stealing elections. These recounts need LOTS of eyes to watch them.
Yeah, you just keep ignoring that Trump/Russia thing, Larsele. Those blinders seem to fit very well.
What Trump/Russia thing? ????
Exellent…I appreciate the offense!
