13. Doesn't it bother you that the State Bd. of Elections is reporting

the opposite results, in such a tight race?

We don't know which is right--so we should not assume CNN & MSNBC are right.

16. The VA site has this sign:

"These UNOFFICIAL RESULTS have not been certified and are subject
to change as data is corrected by the local electoral board.
This page will automatically refresh every two minutes.
Results last updated 12:16 AM Wednesday, November 8, 2006."

WTF do they mean by "corrected"????

41. Yay! The rest of the Fairfax Co. (11) votes finally started coming in!

It's disappointing that Webb did not (apparently) do better than he seemed to in Loudoun. I guess we'll have to wait awhile for them to "blue up". On the other hand, strange things have been going on and I would not be surprised to find irregularities there and elsewhere.

37. I've been worried about this also

Allen's numbers were about 1000 votes higher on the website than what CNN was showing, at the same time Webb's were 4000 lower. Either the numbers were reported in different order or it's a mistake and Allen is still ahead.

53. dude, I made that mistake myself. That's not liberal Green. That's

some conservative. It bothered me all day who that was because I thought it was Green and voted for a local candidate challenging Randy Forbes under that same party. It said on the ballot INDEPENDENT GREEN. Totally confusing until I used the google to find her website.

This party isn't David Cobb Green. TOTALLY confusing.

48. as of about 30 mins ago, all the heavily Rep. districts had 100% reporting

but the more balanced and Dem districts still had 1-18% to report.

Let's hope the lead holds--through the recount!!!
