A Virginia Democrat announced she will be suing over the single ballot keeping her from a victory for a state house seat over the Republican opposition. Shelly Simonds has asked the Virginia Board of Elections to delay the 27 December drawing – a literal picking of names from a hat – to determine if she or Republican incumbent David Yancey will win. If Ms Simonds wins the 94th district seat covering Newport News, Virginia she will give Democrats an even 50-50 seat count in the House of Delegates.
