Obenshain Asks for Recount in AG Race

This morning, State Senator Mark Obenshain requested a recount in the Attorney General's race. State Senator Mark Herring was certified the winner on Monday by a very slim 165 votes out of over 2 million cast. Of the 4 statewide races this century decided within a 300 vote margin, 3 have been overturned in a recount. The 0.007 percent margin in the current race is closer than any of those. Virginia may not know until close to Christmas who will be Virginia's next Attorney General.
