{UAH} Virginia candidate wins rematch after losing 2017 race when names were drawn from bowl

NOVEMBER 6, 2019 / 5:50 AM / CBS/AP

Newport News, Virginia — A Democratic candidate who lost a random drawing out of a bowl that determined control of the Virginia House of Delegates nearly two years ago has won a rematch against her Republican opponent.

Shelly Simonds handily defeated four-term Delegate David Yancey Tuesday in a race for the 94th District in Newport News.

The close 2017 race between the two went to a recount, then to court. Eventually, officials used the luck of the draw, placing the name of each candidate on a piece of paper and each piece of paper in a separate film canister.
