Multiple Dem sources now emailing me claiming they have the "smoking gun" that something is up in Fairfax County #VAAG. We'll see.
This is BIG NEWS = 3,000 missing absentee ballots in Fairfax will change the outcome in favor of Herring

And if there are indeed ~3,000 missing Fairfax #VA08 absentee votes, that'd almost certainly be the miracle Herring (D) needs to pull ahead.

One Fairfax politics veteran theorizes one #VA08 in-person absentee location's votes were somehow not added to the county's tally.
Dave Wasserman â€@Redistrict 34m
The more I look at the data, the totality of the evidence points towards the likelihood that there are ~3,000 untallied Fairfax Co. votes.

@bdomenech @PatrickRuffini I'm not saying anyone is lying. I'm saying there are large unaccounted-for discrepancies in vote totals.

For anyone who wants to check my math, here's my spreadsheet allocating Fairfax's absentee requests by cong. dist.: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvOrrxBeaarVdEVOalJVVFE2Q2tnZ2hhNDNSS3JhM0E&usp=sharing …

If there is a way for @SenMarkHerring to overcome a 777 vote deficit, Dems still believe it is mystery absentees in Fairfax Co. More soon...

What a surprise! They're already finding votes in the trunk to steal another election.
Seeing VAAG news made me LOL a bit.

ETA: I think we should press this issue. You know damn well our opposition would be.
Yep. Republicans are renowned for finding ballots in trunks, closets, and the floor to steal elections.

19. "How" is a good question. But they've crunched the numbers and concluded
that what's most likely missing are in-person absentee ballots voted at two specific locations (and possibly a third).
And a fourth and a fifth if that's what it takes to get a Democrat elected!

31. They've been doing corrections all day and the totals have been seesawing.
On one hand, it's horrifying how many mistakes they've found. On the other, lots of election workers are there 12+ hours, so is it surprising there are mistakes made at the end of a long, long day?

37. Yes, but this is different. These missing votes were 'never' counted at all yet.
And apparently didn't even know they were missing until Wasserman and other pointed it out to them.
Of course they didn't know they were missing. It took a Democrat to find missing votes. How else could they steal the election?

The Fairfax County Electoral Board is investigating a possible irregularity in the number of absentee ballots cast in Virginia’s largest jurisdiction that Democrats say could shift votes in the still-unresolved race for Virginia attorney general.
As of Thursday evening, state Sen. Mark D. Obenshain (R-Harrisonburg) led state Sen. Mark R. Herring (D-Loudoun) in the contest by 777 votes – or .03 percent of 2.2 million cast – according to the State Board of Elections website. Local election boards are now counting provisional ballots, cast by people without ID or in the wrong polling place, and canvassing the returns looking for any possible errors. Both campaigns have said they will consider asking for a recount, depending on the results of the review.
