77. VA bd of elections site says .03 percentage point difference with 87.64% of the vote in

Tue Nov 5, 2013, 10:38 PM

Nov 2013

Still 50+ precincts in FFX Co, plus many in Portsmouth and Suffolk, all blue, to be counted. Also, it appears from my county's results that they have NOT counted the absentee and provisional ballots. WaPo said that these tend blue.

It's the early returns from the low-population, rural southern part of the state. Arugula Latte Nov 2013 #4

Early numbers are crap. Wait an hour or so. nt onehandle Nov 2013 #5

Thank you. Maybe you would want to make this a thread of its own? spooky3 Nov 2013 #32

This is a race where we should've run a hardcore progressive. NuclearDem Nov 2013 #20

Why? Because Tim Kaine & Mark Warner were so uber-"progressive"? Tarheel_Dem Nov 2013 #23

What is a "hardcore progressive". What comes to mind to me is Dennis Kucinich. Now do you really lostincalifornia Nov 2013 #24

This was essentially a given for the Democrat in this race. NuclearDem Nov 2013 #27

I respectfully disagree, especially when we are dealing with southern states, nothing is a given lostincalifornia Nov 2013 #28

Fair enough. It is a southern state, but I still stand by my thought NuclearDem Nov 2013 #29

Obviously, I think it would be great if your theory is right, but the other problem is the lostincalifornia Nov 2013 #33

Actually, I am getting very concerned now, and this looks like it is going down to the line lostincalifornia Nov 2013 #41

it could--but the big purple and blue counties tend to report results later than spooky3 Nov 2013 #43

Definitely not, and I really think we will pull this out, but it will be thanks to the women lostincalifornia Nov 2013 #47

Also, blue Portsmouth (in the Tidewater area) has reported only 1 of 32 precincts. spooky3 Nov 2013 #53

I think McAuliffe will win by a decent margin. The AG race should be tight--hopefully we will StevieM Nov 2013 #65

I agree with you. spooky3 Nov 2013 #70

88% of the vote, and .2% difference, that is not what I call decent margin. Hopefully, the 12% will lostincalifornia Nov 2013 #76

I remember when Jim Webb won in that sqeaker, at the end of the evening. NCarolinawoman Nov 2013 #46

Well, let's just hope that history repeats itself. Beacool Nov 2013 #49

I don't think so. Northern Virginia comes in last and I think McAuliffe will win comfortably StevieM Nov 2013 #60

OK, I'm sure that you are correct. Beacool Nov 2013 #63
