Good got it done. Recount petition filed just days before deadline. In email to supporters, he wrote that McGuire and DC operatives said repeatedly "we couldn’t afford a recount, but you have called for this recount and you have made it possible with your generous donations."

Bob Good’s political fate will be decided at tomorrow's recount. Trailing John McGuire by 374 votes, it’s a longshot attempt to change outcome of GOP primary. After raising doubts about the election on Facebook, it's not clear he'll accept the results. dailyprogress.com/news/local/gov…

20/24 localities have completed recounting votes. Good hasn’t gotten any additional votes so far. McGuire is on track to potentially gain 3 more votes after netting 4 earlier, possibly giving him 7 more votes than he originally had, according to a person familiar.

Breaking: In a letter obtained by 8News, Governor Glenn Youngkin tells Virginia's congressional delegation that Virginia will not be participating in the new IRS Direct File Program. The program would allow taxpayers to file their taxes online for free directly on the IRS' website.

This doesn’t necessarily mean Bob Good is going to run for sure in 2026 in VA-5 It keeps options open and allows fundraising But I thought this would be a possibility given how close it was Also the bad blood between Good and John McGuire

A judge rejects challenge to Youngkin's system for restoring voting rights to people convicted of felonies, but with harsh words: “Much like a monarch, the Governor receives petitions for relief, may or may not rule upon them, and, when he does rule, need not explain his reasons”

Many thanks to Jason Armesto for his thoughtful article on my dad and my speech. We are so lucky to have him here in Charlottesville. And to John Edwin Mason for making me sound less crazy and reminding us how much my dad loved UVA. dailyprogress.com/news/local/edu…

Rep. Elise Stefanik here at Trump event at Trump winery outside Charlottesville. Greets press by saying, “Great to be here in Charlotte, Virginia” Last time VA voted for a R for pres was 2004. She says Dems have taken VA for granted. “Trump is going to win Virginia.”

Stefanik denied that polling has Harris with a comfortable lead in VA. Her argument relied on a recent Uni. Mary Washington poll showing Trump within the margin of error. She didn’t acknowledge multiple polls that have Harris w an 8-10 pt lead. Biden won VA by 10 pts. in 2020.
