Virginia board certifies Connolly's win

The Virginia State Board of Elections on Monday certified the results of the 11th Congressional District election, confirming Democratic incumbent Rep. Gerry Connolly’s 981-vote win over Republican challenger Keith Fimian. The razor-thin margin was unchanged from when Fimian conceded defeat Nov. 9 while leaving open the possibility that he might seek a recount if the official results “change significantly.”
