ONE-VOTE MARGIN: Gives apparent win in Virginia to Shelly Simonds.

Over and over events prove that a single vote does count. Today it’s Virginia, where a recount in a race for House of Delegates (representatives) in Virginia led to a one-vote win for the Democratic candidate and that, in turn, put the partisan division of the House at 50-50, the first time Republicans haven’t been in control in a couple of decades.

Thanks Donald Trump, for giving Democrats the tools to erase a 32-seat deficit (66-34) in the Virginia House.
