Obenshain Asks for a Recount

RPV Chairman Pat Mullins issued the following statement:

"I think Mark Obenshain and his campaign have made the right decision in requesting a recount in this historically-close race. With only 165 votes between the two candidates out of more than 2.2 million cast, Virginians need to know that the results are as accurate as humanly possible."

"Recounting a race this close is simply the prudent thing to do. Virginians like a quick resolution to our elections. I know I certainly do. But we must take the time to be sure that each and every legitimate vote is counted. Virginians deserve no less."
