On November 15, Virgin Islands election authorities finished the canvass of the November 4 vote. Incumbent State Senator Alicia “Chucky” Hansen, an independent, received fewer than half as many write-in votes as needed to win. See this story. She had been removed from the ballot on October 24 by the Territory’s Supreme Court, which felt that her misdemeanor conviction some years ago made her ineligible. The charter of the Virgin Islands says that the Territory’s Senate is the “sole judge” of qualifications of members, and furthermore the Governor had issue her a pardon.
