Shelly Simonds won her election to the Virginia House of Delegates.
But no she didn't. Not if The Republican Guard has anything to say about it.
There are at least 3 real possibilities on what this voter intended - and 2 of them tilt the race to Simonds.

There are at least 3 real possibilities on what this voter intended - and 2 of them tilt the race to Simonds.
- First, the voter intended what the Repubs are claiming - straight GOP.
- Second, the voter went with all GOP, but maybe they know Simonds and they were making an exception. Whatever the reason, people split their ballots all the time.
- Third, the strike-thru on the Simonds bubble means the same as the strike-thru on the Gillespie bubble.
This thing was tossed out on the first accounting, and again on the recount, but suddenly, it's magically resurrected when Yancey needs just one more vote.
It's a classic Under-Vote.
Simonds is challenging the decision in court, and I guess we don't find out what happens next for several more days.
