Something is going on in VA.

I have been glued to VA's election website all day. Most of the day it has said that 99.88% of the precincts had voted. Five minutes ago it changed to 94.57%. Anyone have any ideas about this?

apparently Provisionals & Absentees count as their own Precincts

....hacking/manipulating the vote.


Here we go....

It should increase Webb's lead since most of the conditional ballots are in Dem areas.

areas.

Then you need to click on the individual precincts.

(copied from another thread)
It appears Virginia is attempting to count the Conditional Votes by adding one Conditional Precinct for every Central Absentee Precinct (see example from Fairfax County below). This increased the number of precincts from 2411 to 2599.

The numbers for Webb went from 1,172,913 to 1,172,805 with 99.88% reporting. Now this. You're right. Something stinks.

THey must be recounting somewhere.

They're trying to steal it. The Dems should get on television immediately and start talking about it.

They have said both states are a done deal (pretty much).

We won them both. The pukes don't have the votes.

That is true, and thats what the dems are saying.

Its time for the pukes to concede.

They need to stay visible.

The repukes do not have the votes there. It is all but official.

Relax.....we won the Senate and the House!

:hi:

It's been explained in this and two other threads.

Jeebus.

We won VA... it is not being stolen.

There are people on DU now trying to stir stuff up... do not take the bait.

We've seen the GOP pull some nasty stunts in the past, so we're all a little on edge over this. :crazy: There's a lot at stake and we'll all feel MUCH better when it's officially called for Webb. :-)

On edit: I don't want to fight with my fellow DUers. I just want this to be over. :silly:

They just added additional fake precincts for the provisionals. This means absolutely nothing. Take a chill pill.

I'm not going to rest easy until the counting is official. I don't trust these bastards! :-(

until we know they didn't steal another one, I will not lose my vigilance. Stay focused until we win.

But that doesn't mean there wasn't a perfectly rational explanation for the precinct jump. This was a non event, and I just wanted to make that clear.

We all need to just hang in there. Everything will turn out fine.

but we know what they're capable of. Oh damn ... my nerves are shot. :crazy:

Which is why the Webb campaign is watching this like hawks.

Both sides have observers all over the state wherever counting is taking place. If anyone tried any sort of BS, they'd be on it.

These are the provisional ballots. I would not be a bit surprised if Webb ends up with a bigger lead when this is over, what with the RNC/NRSC/Felix campaign's voter suppression tactics.

Things change as they count precincts, counts, ballots, and stuff.

Nothing sinister here... at least not yet.

...But I don't know what's going on. Stealing the election sounds like something Howdy Doody George Allen would do.

The local news just came on. They said that Webb still has a lead. Is this still true?

A Dem Gov, a Dem SOS, and this has been explained on several threads.

Webb has WON. VA election officials said as much on national TV today. FElix, etc. are not in charge of this, there are no hanging chads, etc. Webb will be certified.

ENJOY the victory and quit letting certain people try to take away the sweetness of victory. They are spoilers on DU right now.

I figured he had won. I just wanted to make sure.

sure things do not pop up that are not supposed to be there, especially this important Senate Race...

You do remember Sore/Loserman in 2000, don't you? You do remember Ken Blackwell, 2004, don't you? Those were important races, too. Never count on anything.

things are a little bit different than Ohio....

In Ohio than they were in Ohio. :thumbsup:

you've been on.

But yet, you still run from thread to thread trying to spread doom and gloom.

Have fun playing.

I just happened to notice it. Why do you have to attack me just because I noticed something and my first thought was to share? It wasn't on the greatest page when I went to post - nor was it in LBN. So why do you feel the need to attack so quickly?

Don't take the bait.

I just saw this and wanted to see what people had to say. I also hoped for more people to follow the site and watch the numbers. Nothing malicious intended.

be reversed to 400 for Webb and 1600 for Allen and thereby move Webb down from a lead in the mid 7000's to under 5000?

A reporter on CNN just made that comment.
