50-thousand Virginians either didn't vote for a presidential candidate last month or their votes were NOT counted.
The number of "nonvoters" makes up about 2 percent of the nearly 3-million ballots cast in Virginia. Election officials say there may have been machine errors, but most likely people were just expressing their lack of enthusiasm for any of the candidates. Elections Secretary Cameron Quinn is asking registrars across the state to send her totals of these nonvotes in response to questions about the ballot.

But some thought we played it up too much.
From Callaway, [Jack Blake] one wrote: I cannot believe you would open your six o'clock news with a story about Beamer staying at Virginia Tech. Who really cares where he stays or goes. This is sports news and belongs in the sports section of the newscast, not in the opening. Instead of Virginia Tech paying the football coach that kind of money, maybe they should have given that paid increase to the professor who actually teaches the students.
Just down the road, another viewer said: [Tom Helmstutler Martinsville]
I don't know which news story got old first--the vote counter giving the fisheye to a ballot in Florida, or the Coach Beamer saga. I'm sorry he decided to stay. Most employers expect a little more loyalty when they sign a contract.
