James Alcorn reveals the name of the winner in the drawing for the House of Delegates 94th District race. The chairman of the state Board of Elections, a Democrat, picked the name in a random drawing last Thursday as provided for by state law to break the tie between three-term incumbent Republican Delegate David E. Yancey and Democratic challenger Shelly Simonds. The win assured Republicans a 51-49 majority in the House after the Democrats picked up 15 seats in the Nov. 7 election.
