Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Recount Dates Set In Virginia Fifth

by Doug Mataconis @ 6:11 am on December 3, 2008.

As expected, there will be a recount in the Virgil Goode vs. Tom Perriello:

A recount of the votes requested by Rep. Virgil Goode in Virginia’s 5th District election is set for Dec. 16 and 17.

Circuit Court Judge Timothy Sanner set the dates today for recounting the 315,000 votes cast Nov. 4 in which the Republican incumbent narrowly lost to Democrat Tom Perriello.

The results certified by the Virginia State Board of Elections showed Perriello the winner by 745 votes. The margin of 0.24 percentage point entitles Goode to a recount at taxpayer expense.

My guess is that Perriello will come out on top.
