[EL] “In Virginia, a 11,608-to-11,607 Lesson in the Power of a Single Vote” was Re: ELB News and Commentary 12/20/17

The point of a list like this is to ask questions and get additional info from people, like you, who are closer to the facts or events. Besides, if officials act contrary to the law, it seems like the story itself will go down a few more turns. I was speculating, as a non-lawyer, about the possibility of either side pushing the notion that some uncounted ballots were wrongly excluded in the first count. Does the state law or precedent actually speak to that? In the end, I doubt either side wants to open that can of worms, if it can be.

All

I represented the petitioner in the first Va HOD recount this year and worked on previous Va. recounts.

Before this thread gets down on too many rabbit holes of false premises, please read Va. Code 24.2-800 et seq.  For example, rejected provisional and absentee ballots are not reviewed during a recount in VA.

Also know that contrary to the clear provisions of the statute, the Recount Court reconsidered a precinct and reversed a decision of the recount officials:  the race is now tied.

I’d guess neither side will want to bring up anything that will rock the boat other than trying to (1) include ballots already cast that were excluded for some reason and that they think would benefit them, or (2) exclude ballots counted for the other side that could be viewed as flawed ballots. No?

Of course, all of that depends on how the ballots were cast, the state laws, and other contextual factors. If you didn’t have the right ID, but tried to vote (as opposed to those that didn’t even try because they didn’t or thought they didn’t have the right ID), were you allowed to cast a provisional ballot in this race? Which side would most likely benefit from counting provisional ballots which only had ID as the problem? I’m guessing neither side wants to gamble on opening those.

I wonder if there are 1 or more Voter-ID provisional ballots that could swing this the other way. If so, who would bring it up? The GOP might not want to argue voter ID might have cost them the election. The democrats might not want to risk losing the seat. As applied to these ballots, does virginia's voter ID hold up, or could an as-applied challenge to have a few more votes get counted, go anywhere?

The Democratic wave that rose on Election Day in Virginia last month delivered a final crash on the sand Tuesday when a Democratic challenger defeated a Republican incumbent by a single vote, leaving the Virginia House of Delegates evenly split between the two parties.
The victory by Shelly Simonds, a school board member in Newport News, was a civics lesson in every-vote-counts as she won 11,608 to 11,607 in a recount conducted by local election officials.
Ms. Simonds’s win means a 50-50 split in the State House, where Republicans had clung to a one-seat majority after losing 15 seats last month in a night of Democratic victories up and down the ballot, which were widely seen as a rebuke to President Trump. Republicans have controlled the House for 17 years….
It was one of several recounts Democrats pursued after narrow Republican victories in House races on Election Day. Before Tuesday, the others had broken for Republicans, but Democrats are still contesting one race with an 82-vote margin in a district where 147 people received the wrong ballots. A lawsuit requesting a new election is in the courts. If the Democratic candidate, Joshua Cole, somehow ends up the victor, that would give his party a 51-49 majority in the House.

COVER LETTER TO THE STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER ELLEN L. WEINTRAUB IN MUR 6920 (AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION)
DECEMBER 19, 2017
Due to pending litigation, I must take the unprecedented step of releasing the attached statement with the identities of certain persons and entities redacted. As can be seen from my statement and the third General Counsel’s Report, these were not incidental witnesses swept up in the agency’s probe, but rather key players in the scheme the Commission unanimously found to have violated the law against making contributions in the name of another.
After engineering an intricate plot to defeat the public’s interest in knowing who was actually behind a $1.7 million political contribution, the plaintiffs are now taking the extraordinary step of suing the Commission to force us to continue to hide their identities.1 I am looking forward to the expeditious resolution of this litigation with a ruling in the FEC’s favor that will allow me to reissue my statement unredacted.
The public has the right to know as much as this agency was able to determine about who was trying to influence the election with this huge contribution. Likely the beneficiaries of their largesse already do.
