Republican David Yancey will keep his seat in the Virginia House of Delegates after a state official pulled his name out of a bowl Thursday, deciding a contest that ended in a tie in November.

Yancey and Democrat Shelly Simonds each received 11,608 votes in their Newport News-based district. Initial results showed Yancey leading by just 10 votes. A recount gave Simonds a one-vote edge. But Republicans challenged a single ballot, resulting in a tie.

Democrats sued to overturn the challenge, but on Wednesday a three-judge panel rejected their complaint. That led to Thursday’s drawing, in Richmond, out of a special bowl crafted by the resident potter at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

Virginia state law allows the loser of the draw to request a second recount. Simonds said Wednesday she would not request a second recount if she lost the drawing.

I knew he would win. the Repubs took a lot of trouble to overthrow that election. They were not going to let it slip between their fingers.
 
How about digging up a ballot from who knows where that they decided was for Yancey after the election results were announced. Simonds was determined to be the winner, then after a while, a double secret ,under probation ,ballot was found and it happened, by coincidence, to be for Yancey. This is not unlike Bush v Gore. Bush's brother was the governor and had power. No way he was permitting his brother to lose, even though he did. Like Hunter Thompson said, look away. The Repubs will win it, one way or the other. The Repubs were in power in WV and were not going to lose that power,
