Virginia House Race Recount Requested Amid Tight Margin

Democratic candidate Kimberly Pope Adams challenges GOP incumbent Kim Taylor's previously declared victory.

Democratic candidate Kimberly Pope Adams is seeking a recount in the Virginia House of Delegates race for the 82nd District.
Adams and GOP incumbent Kim Taylor are separated by just 78 votes.
Taylor, who has served in the House since 2022, previously declared victory.
The outcome of the race won't affect the balance of power in the House as Democrats secured a narrow majority on Election Day.
Virginia law allows candidates to request and pay for recounts if the margin between the top two candidates is 1 percentage point or less.
