Richmond Times Dispatch:
Repubs have been very busy trying to "win" elections by making it harder for certain demographic segments to vote. They can say whatever they want about how the new restrictions apply to everybody and so they're not discriminatory at all, but anybody with a lick of sense (and the tiniest inclination to look into it) knows that's a complete crockful o' shit.
Here's the takeaway that I suspect will be totally lost on "conservatives": Democracy works pretty well even when you try to fuck with it. So, could ya please stop fucking with it now?
On the final day of the statewide recount in the race for Virginia’s attorney general, Republican Mark D. Obenshain conceded to Democrat Mark R. Herring, the certified winner of the Nov. 5 election, ending what Obenshain called “a vigorous and hard-fought campaign.”
Herring’s victory gives Democrats all five statewide offices — governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and the two U.S. Senate seats — for the first time since 1969.Herring ended Election Day with a margin of less than 120 votes, and the recount as of yesterday had him up by a little over 900.
“The recount is almost over, and in this contest it’s become apparent that our campaign is going to come up a few votes short,” Obenshain said Wednesday afternoon at a news conference at the state Capitol, his wife, Suzanne, and daughter Tucker by his side.
