Democrat Deeds Prepares for Recount in Tight Attorney General Race

R. Creigh Deeds, the Democratic candidate for state attorney general, said Wednesday that voting machines in the Roanoke area had malfunctioned in Virginia's elections Tuesday and that he has appointed a team to prepare for a state-paid recount.

..."I'm going to do everything I can to make sure every vote is counted," said Deeds after strolling into a meeting room at the Marriott Hotel in Richmond a few minutes before Kaine was to give his first post-election news conference.

Deeds stopped short of alleging fraud, and he said he did not know precisely what had happened in the Roanoke area. But he cited "anecdotal evidence" of irregularities reported in both Roanoke County and the city of Roanoke.

"People pushed the touch screen for my name, and on the final page they had voted for Bob McDonnell," he said, naming his Republican opponent.

This is not about who gets to be the next Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia; it is about who gets to choose the next Attorney General. Creigh Deeds is fighting for our right to vote.

Are we going to help him? Or are we going to roll?
