Daily Kos: Major New Development Could Swing VA AG Race to (D) UPDATE X3:
Ballot revisions for the Virginia AG race between Republican Mark Obenshain and Democrat Mark Herring have been coming fast and furious over the last couple of days, but they've done little to dent Obenshain's initial margin. Currently, the vote count remains in Obenshain's favor by 777 votes.
Provisional ballots still need to be counted, but most observers believe that there aren't nearly enough provisionals to give Herring a chance of overcoming a nearly 800 vote lead. Essentially, Herring needed a miracle to pull off the win.
Well, that miracle appears to have arrived in the form of a vote-losing clusterfuck. Due to some great digging by Dave Wasserman (Cook Political Report), it appears that election officials have acknowledged some huge irregularities with respect to counting of absentee ballots in Fairfax county that, if borne out, likely swings the race to the Democrats.
