On December 20, 2017, a three-judge panel of Virginia state judges, led by Judge Bryant L. Sugg, ruled that there was no winner in the November 7, 2017 election for Virginia House of Delegates District 94. Previously, following a recount, Democratic candidate Shelly Simonds had been declared the winner, with one vote more than Republican incumbent Delegate David Yancey. After reviewing a contested ballot, the judicial panel held that the race ended in a tie, with both candidates garnering 11,608 votes each. Under Virginia state law, the winner of a tied election is to be chosen by lot.[3][4][5]
