[sandensea]

A Republican delegate has picked up a crucial 100 votes during a canvass of election returns in a race that is critical to determining which party will control the chamber.

Fairfax County elections board spokeswoman Lisa Connors said Republican Delegate Tim Hugo picked up the votes during a Wednesday canvass of election returns.

Connors said the total called in by phone was 100 less than those reflected on the voting machines.

Those votes flip a 68-vote deficit for Hugo to a 32-vote lead.

The Associated Press has not called the race.
