Phil Van Cleave must be a smiling son of a gun this morning :thumbsup:

Is this final final, or is a lawsuit pending?

I don't know if it's final or not. But a court may well decline to hear any further appeals

possibility of a 2nd recount but unlikely to be granted - I'll try to find the link with more details.

The Post article says the loser may request a recount by law.

But even the worst scenario would be a 50-50 tie.

Delegate Yancey won the drawing this morning to see who would represent Virginia's 94th House district and we congratulate him! If Delegate Yancey had turned in a VCDL candidate survey in 2017, it is quite possible that we wouldn't have needed a drawing this morning to break a tie.

The Republicans now have a 51 to 49 majority in the House of Delegates and will choose the Speaker, most likely Delegate Kirk Cox.

Gun owners are far from being out of the woods for the next two years, but with the unfortunate anti-rights bent of the Democrat leadership, this is good news.

Anti-gun bills are pouring in to infringe on our right in just about any way imaginable when the General Assembly convenes on January 10. I will have an update on those bills soon. Lobby Day is January 15. We still have room on the buses from Fairfax, Fredericksburg, Roanoke, and Lynchburg.

Thank god. No surprise but the Gov elect was already talking last night about "bringing both sides together on issues like gun control and expanding Medicaid."
F him. Asshat.

Federal Judge denies PI request so Thomas will be seated next week. The lawsuit can continue however.

Federal judge denies Dems request to BOE to not certify election

They are running out of options.

I'm glad it went the way it did. But I gotta admit, that's a pretty poor way of settling an election. How would WE feel if the Dems name was pulled out of the hat?

swinokur · Jan 10, 2018

What would you suggest?

I have no idea, but I haven't really thought about it either.

[EDIT]

How about the person who can recite the most words correctly in the Constitution wins?

How about the person who spent LESS on their campaign?
