RICHMOND — The state Board of Elections on Monday certified Democrat Mark Herring as the winner of the Nov. 5 election for Virginia attorney general, even as the board chairman raised questions about the “integrity” of the vote tallies.

Herring had 1,103,777 votes to Obenshain’s 1,103,612, according to the certified tally.
