Virginia Republican state Sen. Mark Obenshain will concede the attorney
general’s race Wednesday afternoon, a Republican source confirmed to
POLITICO. The decision ushers Mark Herring into office and gives
Democrats their first clean sweep of the top five statewide offices
since 1969.

Obenshain’s concession will end a recount process that began on Nov. 5,
when the two candidates were separated by a razor-thin election night
margin.

Early results from the recount, which began Monday and was scheduled to
conclude this week, show Herring widening an earlier lead of 165 votes.
As of Wednesday morning, Herring’s lead had increased to more than 800
votes, according to Herring’s campaign, with just under three-quarters
of the ballots counted.
