The winner of a crucial Virginia House of Delegates race will be decided Thursday by a drawing after judges rejected the Democratic candidate's challenge of a vote that could have broken the tie. The names of Republican incumbent David Yancey and Democratic challenger Shelly Simonds will each be printed on pieces of paper and placed in a ceramic bowl. One name will be drawn, and the winner will claim the 94th district seat in Newport News. If Yancey wins, the GOP will retain its majority by 51-49. A victory for Simonds splits the House 50-50.
