The Virginia legislative election's margin of victory just went from one to none. Citing state election law, Virginia Board of Elections Chairman James Alcorn said the board would have to pick a winner at random, likely picking a name from a bowl. In a statement, the Virginia House Democratic Caucus called the court's decision "wrong" and added, "We are currently assessing all legal options before us as we fight for a just result." Reached by phone by The Associated Press, Yancey said he was "just grateful that every vote was counted." The official wrote in a letter submitted to the court that he was "confused" about election board guidelines when he agreed to leave the vote uncounted.
