A recount Thursday confirmed that Virginia Rep. Bob Good, the chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, lost the 5th District Republican primary to a state lawmaker more than a month ago.
Good was challenging certified election results that The Associated Press reported found state Sen. John McGuire beat Good by 374 votes in the June 18 primary. The recount narrowed the margin to 370 votes, AP reported.
As recently as Tuesday, Good complained on X about McGuire’s lack of concern about unsecured ballot dropboxes, but late Thursday he acknowledged his loss in a post on Facebook that thanked those who voted for him.
