Trump needed to blast it out of the park on election day results to have any chance of winning VA. He didn't Biden has already won the state it will just take time to record it all.

They (AP and NYT) have already called VA based on Trump's underperformance on election day combined with heavy Dem early voting.

Yes it looks "weirds" but Biden has already won VA. By midnight the totals will reflect that.

That’s the missing link why VA still seems in play and why Fairfax is only a 9 point split. That should change dramacatically. Most of their votes will be early votes and will be overwhelmingly dem. Existing trends won’t hold.
