After the startling election results in Virgina, where a Democratic governor was elected (again) in a stern rebuke to Trumpist style politics, something else happened of further significance. That was the big shift in the House of Delegates, which went from a 66-34 Redumblican majority to a 51-49 majority for the repugnant GOP.
Until the recounts, that is.
Because after the recounts, in Newport News, where the R guy led by 10 votes, the new count put the D girl into office -- by one vote.
I love it when something like that happens. Couldn't happen to bunch of scummier politicians.
(Now, I know that I'm amalgamating the Virginia Republicans with the rest of the national party, but given what has happened since Trump took office, I'm pretty much nauseated by the entire lot of them.)
A recount just knocked Virginia’s statehouse out of Republicans’ hands — by a single vote
