Democratic incumbent Abigail Spanberger, a “former” CIA operations officer, took the lead over her Republican challenger Nick Freitas in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District by 5,134 votes on Wednesday and swiftly declared victory after “14,616 central absentee votes” were found on a “mislabeled memory stick.”
“In CD7, Spanberger now leads by 5,134 votes after Henrico County posts 14,616 central absentee votes that were overlooked on Election night,” The Virginia Public Access Project reported. “Officials overlooked the ballots, which were saved on a memory stick mislabeled as ‘provisional ballots.'”
