NBC News reports:
Rep. Bob Good said Monday his campaign would file a legal challenge to “try to block certification” of the Republican primary election in a key city in Virginia’s 5th District as he trails his opponent in the vote count.
Good claimed during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast Monday that Lynchburg, Va., “did not secure their drop boxes.”
“There’s no accountability for when those boxes were opened,” Good said. “They were apparently left to be stuffed for two or three days after the election. We’re going to be making the legal challenge in the next couple of days to demonstrate that Lynchburg, the biggest city, can’t be certified,” he added.
Read the full article. Good, the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, previously claimed that “fires” at three voting precincts may have cost him an outright win in the primary. For now, the race is headed to a recount with Good trailing the Trump-endorsed candidate by fewer than 400 votes.

As local officials wrap up their post-election tallies, state Sen. John McGuire’s lead over Rep. Bob Good in the Republican primary in #VA05 has grown to 358 votes. The margin is still well below 1 percent, which allows the loser to request a recount. Good has said he intends to. pic.twitter.com/xPL28tUMpu
