Election Day Night: Waiting for Northern Virginia Results to Come In


If you wonder what I'm doing, I am logged into the Virginia Board of Elections website monitoring returns as they come in - it's a way to get a quicker and more accurate status of what's happening than watching the news coverage.  The bulk of the votes that have not come in are from Northern Virginia - Fairfax County in particular - so, it looks like Terry McAuliffe will ultimately win as will Ralph Northam.  More up in the air is the fate of Mark Herring.  Based on the results so far, politically, the divide in Virginia is increasingly the rural, backwards, knuckle dragging areas of the state versus the urban areas.  I will update this post in a little while.
