when is a recount needed in virginia
However, Tuesday showed a different story, with news networks and websites hesitant to call the race for either candidate. By late Tuesday evening, Virginia's race was still too close to call, with neither candidate having more than a one percent lead over the other. A recount is possible in the razor-thin race. According to Virginia law, if a candidate loses by 'not more than one percent of total vote,' the defeated candidate may appeal to the State Board of Elections for a recount, noted NBC Washington on Tuesday evening.
