..in Virginia. So it appears 85% of them have already voted. With another 387,000 requested ballots still outstanding - plus whatever happens between now and the time the polls close a week from tomorrow.

Kinda’ neat! Virginia may have an extra 10-15% more voters than in 2016. That’s A LOT of people. I wonder what’s motivating them? (Actually, I’m not.)
