I got this off the "Election Results" website posted on the Clintwood Connection. I thought all results were in and tallied? So what does this mean exactly? Shows on the website that the "write in canidate" is ahead by two votes. Someone please explain. Thanks in advance.

That all the write in votes were not credited to Shanghi.
I believe that maybe about 35 were thrown out for not spelling his name correctly.

§ 24.2-648. Write-in votes on voting equipment.

Write-in votes may be cast on voting equipment for any person whose name does not appear on the ballot as a candidate for the office being voted, subject to this section and the provisions of § 24.2-644 not in conflict with this section.

Each write-in vote shall be entered in the receptacle or area designated on the device for the office being elected. A write-in vote shall be cast in its appropriate place, in accordance with the instructions for that equipment, or it shall be void and not counted.

Except on devices which provide a means to enter a name electronically, each write-in vote shall be entered by the voter in his own handwriting or hand printing.
