In the 1991 Virginia House of Delegates election for the 53rd District, David Sanders had won the seat by 17 votes out of nearly 13,000 cast on election night. However, a recount six weeks later, determined that Jim Scott was the winner by a single vote. He immediately became known as “Landslide Jim”. #VotingMatters #2018Midterms #Virginia
