RICHMOND, Va. — An elections official said Monday that her staff will go over returns "with a fine-toothed comb" before certifying the outcome of the governor's race, in which Democatic Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder apparently defeated Republican J. Marshall Coleman.
Susan Fitz-Hugh, secretary of the electoral board, said the state's 136 localities have finished canvassing the Nov. 7 balloting for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, the House of Delegates and local offices and referenda.
