The Virginia Demographics based on exit polls. [View all]

The votes are NOT all counted yet. There are no "official" demographic numbers yet. That will come in time. I'm sure the Democratic Party is going to study what happened here, so it can try to repeat this huge win in the 2018 mid-terms.

In the meantime, we have some soft numbers based on exit polls. They are here:

Northam beat Clinton in almost every demographic, sometimes by a tad, sometimes by quite a bit.

Oh, no. Your vote is not anonymous in some states. Honeycombe8 Nov 2017 #3

That's only in primaries, where you request a D or R ballot frazzled Nov 2017 #4

Your VOTE is recorded for key races. Honeycombe8 Nov 2017 #5

Believe that if you want frazzled Nov 2017 #6
