Lawyers for Democrat R. Creigh Deeds had asked that all paper-based ballots cast in the Nov. 8 statewide election either be recounted by hand or resubmitted through optical scanning machines.

The circuit judges sided with McDonnell, who argued that it is sufficient to simply re-add computer tapes from voting machines that contained totals for each candidate.
