2. I was going to post a reminder and a link, but you both were on top of it.

... of course after the draw, it is probable the loser will ask for a recount and the uncertainty of that troubles me.

3. The Va GOP is planning on muscling in their Speaker regardless

Of the outcome. The next GA session starts on the 10th so even if she wins (he'll appeal) and the Republicans will vote in their Speaker. Assholes.

5. I agree there's no conspiracy in the drawing

The late double vote wasn't a conspiracy but illuminated the partisan court who allowed it.
