7:32 p.m.: Pollard is up 65.81% to 34.19% with Richmond and Westmoreland Counties reporting!
So far, he’s gotten a majority in every precinct!
7:48 p.m.: 64.06% to 35.94% with Richmond, Westmoreland, and parts of King George and Northumberland reporting. Still has a majority in every precinct.
8:08 p.m.: 63.20% to 36.78% (1,495 vote spread) with more of King George and Northumberland reporting in. Has a majority in every precinct except Shiloh (King George County).
8:32 p.m.: 59.45% to 40.50% (1,777 vote spread) with all but one a couple precincts (Monroe in King George County, and 3A, 4A, 5A in Northumberland County) reporting.
8:48 p.m.: Either way, I’m calling this (which I could have done at 7:00 p.m. — or a month ago); meet the new Delegate for the 99th District, Albert Pollard:

Thanks to the voters of the 99th District for not electing that fear-mongering demagogue George Lee Anne Washington!
Looks like Robby Wittman found a great replacement for himself!
9:02 p.m.: 3A and 5A precincts in Northumberland County have reported (leaving only Monroe in King George County and 4A in Northumberland County to report): 59.55% Pollard, 40.40% Washington.
02/19/2008, 9:33 p.m.: ALL PRECINCTS ARE IN (I think): 57.57% Pollard, 42.39% Washington, 0.04% Write in.
Thanks for the update!
Thank you, thank you! No applause, please! :)
Ms Washington was definitely the better candidate. Pollard won more because of name recognition than any platform he represents. Hopefully the voters will make a better choice in Nov 09.
No, Ms. Washington was a lying, fear-mongering, demagogue.
