NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP) — The Latest on election recounts for the Virginia House of Delegates (all times local):
12:15 p.m.
After an election recount that appears to give them a tying vote in their chamber, Virginia House Democrats plan to meet Wednesday to select a would-be speaker.
They will choose between current House Democratic Leader David Toscano, who has led the caucus for several years, and Del. Ken Plum, the body's longest serving member.
The caucus vote comes after a day after Democrats appear to have secured a 50-50 tie in the lower chamber with a one-vote election victory after a recount in a Newport News House district.
