The Virginia State Board of Elections has certified the apparent defeat of one of America’s most conservative congressmen to a challenger endorsed by former President Donald Trump in the state’s June 18 primaries.

FILE - Virginia state Sen. John McGuire, a candidate in the Republican primary in the state's 5th Congressional District, joins supporters, June 18, 2024, in Lynchburg, Va. On Monday, July 2, 2024, The Associated Press said the race between McGuire and Rep. Bob Good was still too close to call.

Good’s campaign, in a social media post, also raised skepticism about three fire alarms that went off in three different precincts in the district on Election Day.Virginia elections commissioner Susan Beals said at Tuesday’s meeting that the fire alarms were triggered by maintenance activities at schools that were hosting polling places. She praised the work of elections officers to secure ballots and said workers “ensured that no voters were turned away.

Now that the results have been certified, Good's campaign has a 10-day window in which to file a recount petition with one of the circuit courts in the 5th District.
