Petersburg, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - The recount requested by Democrat Kimberly Pope-Adams in the 82nd District race is set to take place December 19.

Pope-Adams filed a petition for a recount after the race was called on November 13. Republican Kim Taylor was determined to have won by just 78 votes. Because she lost by a margin of less than 1%, Pope-Adams was legally allowed to request a recount.


“The results of this election are far too close for anyone to declare outright victory,” Pope Adams said at the time.

The 82nd District includes Petersburg along with much of Dinwiddie and Prince George.
