Another District 11 Update

from Anthony Bedell

1. No winner has been declared in the 11th Congressional District Election, which remains one of the closest elections in the country. Three days after the closing of the polls, the difference in votes for Keith Fimian and Gerald Connolly is less than 1,000 votes out of over 220,000 cast in the election -- well within the margin for a recount in Virginia.

2. Right now, each locality in the 11th Congressional District is winding up a post-election canvass, including counting provisional ballots. The canvass is a legal process in which local officials literally reconstruct the results of the election one voting machine and one precinct at a time, to ensure that all votes validly cast in the election are counted fairly and accurately. Once the local canvass is finished, including provisional ballots, the local officials will send the election returns to Richmond for further review by state election officials, who will certify the official results of the election later this month.

3. The canvass is a public process, and our observers have been monitoring it since the minute it began.

4. There are several developments in the Fimian - Connolly race that may call into question the accuracy of the current vote totals.

Here are the issues that are being looked at:

• In Fairfax County, the voting machines failed to register votes from over 800 ballots, including 106 in the Sideburn precinct alone. (Keith Fimian won that precinct 58% - 40%.) In Prince William County, the machines failed to register votes on more than 200 additional ballots.
• In several precincts, there were actually more votes than voters. That is, voting machines reported a higher number of votes than the number of voters marked on the pollbooks as having voted in the election.
• As of Election Day, there were over 1,150 absentee ballots that had been mailed out to military and other overseas voters but had yet to be received back in the 11th Congressional District.
• We also understand that officials in Prince William County rejected over 280 absentee ballots, with another 200-300 absentee ballots being rejected in Fairfax County.

So the process is unfolding as set forth in the law and these are some of the questions that are being considered at this time.

Virginia District 11 Results in Limbo...

This is what happens when "someone" screws with the machines.

In the still-undecided congressional race between incumbent Democrat Gerald Connolly and Republican challenger Keith Fimian, both sides on Wednesday claimed they would ultimately prevail in a contest that could come down to a recount.

Some provisional ballots, those cast by voters who had en

countered a problem at the polls, were still being counted Wednesday and precinct totals were being double-checked. But the Connolly campaign claimed the math was on their side and Connolly delivered what amounted to a victory speech late Tuesday, even though Fimian has not yet conceded the race.

Depending on what vote tallies reveal, a recount is a distinct possibility. There are no automatic recounts in the state. The losing candidate can request one after the election results are certified if the margin is 1 percent or less of the total votes cast in the race.

But Tim Edson, Fimian's campaign manager, stressed that their focus on Wednesday was simply on getting the outstanding votes counted.

"We're optimistic that when all the votes are counted that Keith will be the next congressman for the 11th District," he said.

The board of elections will meet to certify the election results on Nov. 22. Fimian would have until Dec. 2

Gerry Connelly Caught Plagiarizing!

This man is so corrupted, he can't even make a campaign video without breaking the law or stretching the rules!
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-11) busted for plagiarism

More HERE..
“When Gerry Connolly’s staff isn’t spending their time condemning ‘fighting wasteful spending and getting the economy moving ‘as ‘extremist’ views, they are simply making things up to shift attention from Connolly’s radical, big government record, including the failed $800 billion stimulus, the job killing cap and trade bill, and the mismanaged, trillion dollar government health care takeover.
“Connolly bankrupted Fairfax County and now he is rubber stamping the
reckless policies that are bankrupting America.”
AND HERE
If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner.
Yup. Sounds like Gerry.

Congratulations to Keith Fimian!

Keith will run against Gerry Connelly in November!

and some other really good news that should have the democrats nervous...Virginia Republican turnout way up

Famous Cows Endorse Connolly

A group of famous cows have endorsed Gerry Connolly for re-election. The endorsement comes on the heels of a flurry of press releases about Connolly's record of trading earmarks for campaign contributions.

Cows have been slowly becoming politically aware of their individual rights and have been watching Congress for legislators who support bovine rights. Congressman Connolly is the first such endorsement in Virginia because of his full-throated support for pork.


Daisy the Cow, spokesCow for Cows for Connolly PAC said, "Moooo. Geeerrrry Coooonnoooly's support for pork is a wonderful idea. We support all career poiticians who favor pork over everything else. We like Geeeeerry Coooonnnolly's platfrom. Pork for Breakfast. Pork for Lunch. Pork for Dinner. Pork for all contributors. Also Cooooonnolly's supports a ban on fundraisers at Steakhouses. Moooo for Connolly."

While Virginia might be known for its Smithfield Hams, the northern Virginia Congressman is known for his $3,000,000,000+ in pork for his district. More pork than all other Virginia congressmen combined!

Many cows have begun maxing out their contributions to Rep. Connolly. They’re hoping he will continue his tradition of paying back supporters by submitting additional pork for their industries.

Fimian Vows to Repeal Pelosi-Connolly Healthcare Bill

Fairfax, VA – Keith Fimian, Republican candidate for Congress (VA-11) released the following statement in response to Congress passing the Democrats' healthcare legislation:

“The American people have repeatedly rejected the Democrats’ plan to force a government takeover of healthcare and put 1/6 of our nation’s economy under government control,” Fimian said. “Gerry Connolly has cast his lot with Nancy Pelosi, against the will of his constituents and the American people.

This disastrous healthcare legislation, loaded with backroom deals, special interest giveaways, mandates and $569 billion in tax hikes, will explode an already catastrophic deficit, destroy jobs, and devastate the best healthcare system in the world,” Fimian said. “When I am elected to Congress, I will immediately introduce legislation to repeal this bill.

“Republicans offered real solutions to the problems with our healthcare system, but they were rejected. It is clear that Pelosi and Connolly aren’t interested in truly fixing problems with our healthcare system, but only in achieving an agenda-driven outcome and declaring a political victory,” Fimian added.

The $1.2 trillion price tag includes over $569 billion in tax increases, new taxes on middle class families making $66,000 or more per year, $53 billion in raids on social security, and $200 billion in cuts to Medicare for seniors. It also sends $436 billion directly to insurance companies. The IRS will need to hire 16,500 new workers just to enforce all the new taxes and penalties this legislation will bring.

“Our health care system is the best in the world because it fosters competition, innovation and excellence, and consumers have real choices regarding their medical care. By no means is it perfect, but we should work to improve what we have by addressing wellness, one of healthcare’s most central issues, by lowering the cost of insurance through increased competition, by addressing portability, by allowing insurance to be purchased across state lines, and by pursuing tort reform that eliminates frivolous law suits that drive up the cost of medical care,” Fimian said. “I look forward to implementing these solutions in Congress and repealing this disastrous legislation Democrats have forced on the American people.
