Warner Win Now Official Miller Gives Up On Recount
Democrat Andrew Miller withdrew his bid for an Virginia U.S. Senate recount after a three judge panel set an $80,000 minimum, more than Miller could raise.

Miller conceded defeat to Warner with six-year junior senatorial term ahead and noted the statutes’ ambiguity in recount funding.
