You should have known better. Remember, he's still the sitting AG.

Ken Cuccinelli, whose office would represent the State Board of Elections in any challenges to its vote count, has asked people to help pay for state Sen. Mark Obenshain's legal costs for any recount in his race to be the state's next attorney general.
Democrats say that's a conflict and casts a huge shadow over the state's efforts to ensure that every vote is counted. Cuccinelli and Obenshain's fellow Republicans say the Democrats are making a mountain out of a molehill.
But with the Democratic attorney general candidate, state Sen. Mark Herring, holding a lead of just 165 votes over Obenshain, both sides are gearing up for a fight.
"There is a recount effort that will require staff support and attorneys to fight what is sure to be a full legal onslaught from the Democrats I need you to click here to fund Mark's recount fight right now," Cuccinelli said in an email to supporters. The email was sent from a "cuccinelli.com" address and carried a tagline that Cuccinelli's campaign paid for it.
