How weak of the gop to give up a seat by 1 vote!
No I don’t think this is rigged but there should be a recount.
this was a recount.

Wait, isn't Greedo's gripe with the 2004 Washington race the fact that they did multiple recounts? But now he wants a second recount here? lol
Okay the difference with Washington 04 and HD-94 is

Yancy won the first count by 10 votes
Rossi won the first count by 250ish
Yancy lost the second count by 1 vote
Rossi won the second count by 40ish votes
Rossi then goes on to lose in the third count by 110ish votes

So the reason I want a recount is because the result changed in 04 the first 2 counts were the same.

In the Virginia it changed with yancy losing by 1 vote I think that when there is a recount that changes the actual result they should do a extra count.

There should have been a third count in Minnesota in 08 and a fourth count in Washington in 04.

That's a fair point. Honestly, in a race that is decided by a single vote, it wouldn't be surprising if the result changed each time you recounted. In something that close, even 99.99% counting precision wouldn't be enough to give a clear victor.
So it looks like we agree then that a third count would be good to sort out any errors there could be.

Simons won fair and square.

BS

For the record, this 2008 MN Senate Ballot was rejected as an overvote.  This ballot is more clear than that ballot.

Yancey is trying to steal an election he lost fair and square.

Consider this:

This ballot right here for MN-Sen 2008 was rejected as an overvote.

In this case, it is 100% obvious that they wanted to vote for Franken.

In the case of this, it is not clear how the voter intended, yet they count the vote?

Different then the VA issue.
That person wrote in lizard people for president and senate so I’m going to guess that person is a troll.
This Virginia ballot is a typo why would someone vote for Gillespie Vogel and Adams then vote dem for the HOD? They saw they filled in the wrong box and fixed it.

The MN person circled the box for Lizard People for Pres, but left the Sen box un-circled.

The VA ballot also had a cross out for Gillespie, not just for Simonds.  And there were more crosses in Gillespie.

But that person didn’t fill in anyone else for governor.
Plus this person still voted for Vogel and Adams so I’m going to guess that this person made a typo and it should be counted.

The Gillespie box was even messier than the Simonds box in this case.  Maybe they intended to leave a blank ballot for the Governor race by your logic!

Simonds vote was crossed out on 2 corners.

Gillespie vote was crossed out on 3 corners.

This vote in question was clearly an overvote.

I believe that this vote should have been counted for Simonds, if anything, since there was more markings in her box, combined with the fact that Gillespie had additional box markings as well.

More likely an annotation, than a cross out.

it is extremely hypocritical of Republicans to call this vote invalid, while calling this vote for them:

The ballot in HD 94 should have been discarded as an overvote but i digress. Republicans only know how to cheat in order to win. Even if simmons wins the coin toss which something tells me she will not Republicans will refuse to seat her and seat the incumbent.

There is actually a similar case where a Republican was seated after losing a chance event that was supposed to break a tie a few years ago in Mississippi.

California Democrats should repeal the redistricting commission, and draw a complete 53-0 D gerrymander in 2020.
