Democrat wins by one vote, leaving Virginia House with 50-50 tie

This proves it: Your vote really does count.

Democrats edged out Republicans by one vote in the Virginia House of Delegates on Tuesday after a rollercoaster recount flipped a red seat to blue and created a 50-50 tie between the two parties.

Democrat Shelly Simonds is the apparent winner in the race for the 94th District, beating incumbent Republican David Yancey.

She won, 11,608 to 11,607, according to the nonpartisan Virginia Public Access Project.

This is the first time Republicans have not been in control of the Virginia House in nearly two decades.
