Virginia: recount in one Fairfax senate race

The Washington Post Virginia Politics blog reports: Sen. Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II R-Fairfax , who holds a 91 vote lead over Democrat Janet Oleszek, sent an appeal to GOP supporters at 3:30 this morning asking for donations to help him finance an expected recount.

Because Cuccinelli s margin is less than a half percent, Oleszek can ask for a state-funded recount. In his appeal, Cuccinelli says he is also looking for 10 volunteer lawyers who can help him oversee a district canvass of the votes cast in yesterday s election. -- Sen.

Note: I have a special interest in this race because I used to live in this district.

It's worth noting that Sen. Cuccinelli is the attorney who brought the suit in behalf of the Virginia Republicans against the open primary law. Last month the Republicans won most of what they had sought from the 4th Circuit in Richmond.
