A recount for Virginia's 6th Senate District race will be held Monday. Republican challenger Wayne Coleman petitioned for a recount last week. Democrate Lynwood Lewis, a longtime Eastern Shore state delegate, was certified the winner after a Jan. 7 special election. He defeated Coleman, a Norfolk businessman, by nine votes out of roughly 20,400 cast.
The Norfolk-based Senate seat was vacated by Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam.
At stake is control of the Senate. If Lewis' victory survives the recount effort, the chamber would be divided 20-20 between Democrats and Republicans and the tie-breaking vote would be held by Northam, a Democrat.
We’ll never win a recount...ever. The Democrats just find a box of ballots.
After Al Gore’s loss, the Rats seem to win any recount.
Guess the crooks in the Democrat precincts have added enough votes to “win” the recount now. The GOP will have been Frankened again and will suck their thumbs after another election fraud. Ever hear of “courts”, losers?
9 votes, huh ? Yeah, right.
FROM THE LINKED ARTICLE:
“...Democrate Lynwood Lewis... was certified the winner after a Jan. 7 special election. He defeated Coleman, a Norfolk businessman, by nine votes out of roughly 20,400 cast....”

The Dems will undoubtedly pull out a number of newly “found” ballots to pad the results so the Democrat doesn’t have a net loss of 5 votes going to the Republican.
If I recall correctly, the Minnesota Supreme Court upheld the recount victory of Al Franken. So you can’t necessarily look to the courts for relief from rigged recounts.
The way the recount works is the candidate with the dumber voters wins. Here’s why:
With optical scan ballots, the voter is supposed to darken a circle next to the candidate’s name, like an SAT test. If the ballot counting machine shows no vote cast it kicks the ballot out during the recount. That law says the recounters can examine that ballot. If the voter circled the candidate’s name instead of filling in the circle, the ballot get counted for that candidate.
In that way, Lewis will pick up more votes that Coleman will. Why? Lewis’ voters are dumber.
I guarantee it.
