Tied Virginia election proves every vote actually does count

Don’t ever say to me on Election Day, “Oh, I’m not voting.”

Those who express such an indefensible sentiment often then try to justify it by saying, “My vote doesn’t count.”

Every vote counts.

Just ask two people today, Shelly Simonds and David Yancey. Both were candidates for delegate to the Virginia state legislature from the 94th House District. Neither has been declared the winner.

The election took place in November. The reason that there is no declared winner or loser is that they both got the exact same number of votes.

The Democrat, Shelly Simonds, received 11,608 votes. And the Republican incumbent, David Yancey, got 11,608 votes. So the result is a tie.

    "Every vote counts."

    Can you (the person who wrote this, or from this web site or anyone for that matter) or do you know anyone (official or unofficial) who can prove to me that the votes are counted with one hundred percent accuracy?

    I will not hold my breath.

    I can hear the sheep now "you have to trust the government."
