Provisional Ballot Count Begins for Key Virginia Races
From NBC Washington DC channel 4
Election officials in Virginia are counting provisional ballots, and the results could change which political party controls the state's House of Delegates.
The House is split, with 51 Republicans and 49 Democrats. Just one district turning blue would create a 50/50 split, with Lt. Gov.-elect Justin Fairfax, a Democrat, holding the tie-breaking vote.
Three House of Delegates races in the state are too close to call, including in the 28th District, which includes parts of Stafford County and Fredericksburg.
...
Democrats in Stafford County say 55 military absentee ballots are not being counted but should be. Then, there’s an unknown number of provisional ballots. Provisional ballots often are cast because a voter failed to bring proper identification to the polls. They are counted after other votes. Also, some claim another 1,100 absentee ballots are not being counted.
