By the time the initial count is over, Jim Webb may have a small lead over George Allen.

No matter, under Virginia law, there will be an automatic recount because the margin will be under 10,000 votes.

We won't know until then.

UPDATE: Webb takes the lead. Up by 3,000 votes with 1% of precincts left.

    the chances are Webb's lead could be overturned in recount?  It seems like having more than a thousand vote lead going into recounts puts you in prety good shape, yes?

    Also, is it true what they're saying about St. Louis and K.C. still waiting to come in?  Or is it rural Mizzou we're waiting on?

    Very likely to hold up (none / 0) (#2)

    Last year, a 300 vote lead held up on a Virginia recount.
