How can you call a race with 1% counted? Even if 100% of those ballots are cast for Kaine there are still 99% of the rest of the ballots to go through.

Can someone explain?

When a Virginia Senate race has been called this early. Astounding. 15 years ago that was a red state.

Hope it foreshadows a good night.

the Fightin' Minnesotans.

i assume people have to put up a shitload of statues of Corey Stewart on a rearing horse now

Over the next 50 years, Corey Stewart supporters will doggedly build a narrative that he was only defeated by Tim Kaine's Northern industrial machine, that he fought for Virginian rights, and that Trumpism was a benign institution
