Welcome to Virginia, legal battleground
Cory Bergman November 8th, 2006
It’s 2:30 a.m. ET, and contrary to Stephen Warley’s prediction below, the Democrats are leading in the battle for the Senate with just one state to go (well, technically two right now. Democrat Jon Tester is leading in Montana by a good narrow margin). It all comes down to Virginia, where Sen. George Allen (R) can order a recount if he loses by a margin less than 23,000 votes (right now it’s Jim Webb up by around 11,000 votes). If the margin holds slim, the media storm will descend upon Virginia as hundreds of lawyers watch over a highly-scrutinized recount. Would you expect anything else these days?

and this morning it looks like Montana is still in play and is in the same boat as Virginia. Well it makes for good television at least!
