general Election year in Virginia

Posted August 31, 2009 • Comments Off on Election year in Virginia

In November of 2005 I became briefly obsessed with the Virginia attorney general election, because it was crazy close. I wrote about following it on the state board of elections website’s live returns: differences of a thousand votes here, a few hundred there, among about 20 million.

I just accidentally found one of those posts—http://kostia.net/blog/?p=2032—and I realized something.

The two guys running against each other for attorney general in that race were the same two guys running for governor this year.

Everything I’ve got from all three cameras is now up there, including Worldcon, Splashdown, and the few pictures I have from the COFaQue.
