less than 1/3 of 1% difference.

On the Virginia race:

An Associated Press count Wednesday night showed Webb with 1,172,538 votes and Allen with 1,165,302, a difference of 7,236, or less than one-third of 1 percent.

Wow. There are more people enrolled in some high schools than that. My high school was something like 6,000 people when I was enrolled. Nevermind! I just checked. it was more like 2.5k. I was thinking of my graduating class of 600 people.

Anyway, I guess this means is that Allen can request a re-count on the state’s dime since it’s fewer than half a percentage point difference (if these numbers are the final count).

    Your high school at 6,000 students!?! Holy truckload of crap! Mine had around 2,000 and that seemed like a bit much….

    In the report that I saw said that Allen didn’t want to drag this out so I doubt there will be a recount.

    Allen conceded the race. Yeah! No I just hope the Demo’s don’t screw things up by trying to push their own adgenda through like a train gone mad.

  6. You might also read the striked-through text to see that I actually went and checked and realized I was having a brain-fart.
