We Will Not Surrender
Sturtevant Losing Until 346 Illegal Votes Found in Early Voting
CHESTERFIELD, VA- Senator Chase plans to challenge Tuesday's election results, disputing the early votes that took place during the 45 day early voting period that were done on voting computers that were not in compliance with Virginia State law. She's currently seeking legal counsel to address concerns.
"We're not asking for a recount. A recount won't correct the problem. We will never know for sure if there were bad actors in the early voting certification process. We're asking for those who acted illegally to be held accountable for their unethical actions during early voting.
Chesterfield GOP and Ethics Attorney Chair Leslie Haley and the Sturtevant campaign should be held accountable for their lack of judgment and clear conflict of interest that took place when Sturtevant's campaign manager was illegally chosen as the sole Republican to certify early voting machines during early voting.
As stated in a press release on May 15, we have zero confidence that the early voting machines were properly certified. There should be consequences," stated Senator Amanda Chase. "No voter should have been voting early on those voting computers until they were in compliance with Virginia State law."
Senator Amanda Chase won the actual Election Day voting. In fact, she was leading all night Election Night by at least 2%, until the absentee votes were counted. It was only after absentee votes were counted that she came up short by 346 votes.
Senator Amanda Chase announced at her Victory Party last night that she would not concede until she was confident that the official vote count was correct and any election day concerns of voters were resolved.
