I was surprised by the City of Fredericksburg returns, too. If anything, I’d have thought the Charlottesville area would have been more favorable to Houck. It might just be that Fredericksburg has grown enormously over the past few years since the VRE made commuting from there to DC more feasible. I.e., you have more govt workers now in F’burg. Only thing I can come up with.
This is an auto-recount unless Houck were to decline, like George Allen did in ‘06. We’ll see how that goes, but if F’burg is the strongest area of support, not sure how they come up with boxes of ballots in the back of someone’s car.
That's called VOTE FRAUD for those of you playing at home.
