9:47 PM Control of Virginias House Of Delegates Is Going Down To The Wire
David Wasserman 9:47 PM Control of Virginia’s House Of Delegates Is Going Down To The Wire
Control of Virginia’s House of Delegates is likely to be decided by absentee and provisional ballots. Right now, by my math, Democrats have won 47 districts to Republicans’ 46. There are 7 races left uncalled: Democrats lead in 4, and Republicans in 3. Amazingly, the margins in 5 of the 7 districts are less than 150 votes.
For example, in Newport News’s 94th District, Del. David Yancey (R) currently leads Shelly Simonds (D) 11,587 to 11,575 with all precincts reporting, but provisional votes won’t be processed for days. Altogether, that means it may take days instead of hours to find out which party will be in control come January.
