Odd decision, not good that an valid election can be overthrown if the judge does not like the result.
If there was no fraud, 1 vote majority is a victory.
If there is fraud, prove it and reject those votes = A many-vote victory for the honest voters.

The vote was a questionable one and that is why it was tossed out.

Agreed. I bet the Democrat wins the coin toss.

I think the question involves a vote that was contested.
Nevada had a local election about 25 years ago that ended in a dead heat. With no provision for breaking a tie, the two candidates agreed to play a single hand of poker to determine the winner. LMAO.

Yes!!
One vote win makes absolutely no sense and I'd say the odds are astronomical.

I love it! The Republican will draw the lot just so as to make Democrat worshiping media turn purple.
Democrats will just have to wait to raise taxes, register to vote more illegals and felons, and corrupt Virginian youth with gender-bender permits.

Pray that the lot falls in favor of Yancey. They literally will flip a coin now.

Agreed. I bet the Democrat wins the coin toss. And then the MSM will resume their talk about how the victory is proof that Trump is causing a resurgence in Democrats everywhere.
To: Combat_Liberalism
The democrat in this race is a planned parenthood, sodomite loving anti-2nd amendment communist.
To: Drew68
An election on a coin toss throws out every ones vote. Everyone is therefore disenfranchised. Unconstitutional!!
You have to rerun the race with only the same voters voting.
Any outstanding military ballots?
To: CatOwner
From what I have read, it was a 10 vote victory for the Republican, and after a recount, turned into a 1 vote victory for the Democrat.
It's been a while since I delved into statistics, but to get a turnaround like that on a recount, even for 10 votes, is unlikely. The initial winner is more than likely to pick up votes.
Thus I suspect fraud.
