Pivotal mistakes made by Virginia election officials reportedly caused at least 26 people to cast their votes in the wrong district during a state delegate race in 2017, according to an analysis of voter records by The Washington Post. The mistake may have impacted the final outcome of the razor-thin race—between Republican David Yancey and Democrat Shelly Simonds—reports the Post. Gov. Ralph Northam’s office has said that a statewide review of the issue has been lodged.
