Also: I was annoyed provisional ballots weren't reallocated back to precincts like early in-person early ballots and mail-in absentee ballots (regular and PE), so we passed my bill SB 1044 this year to do that.
So now you can see provisional vote totals by precinct.

Some people might think that the 13 Democrats who flipped seats in the Virginia House of Delegates Red to Blue might not have staying power and will just be washed out when the pendulum swings back.

The Republican hate speech towards trans kids was never a winning strategy - and it never will be. Maybe it’s time to try something radical, like focusing on real issues: traffic, infrastructure, cost of living, and making sure every kid gets fed at school, no matter what.

1) Emerge Virginia had a banner night. EVA alumnae flipped the Governor's seat and 8 House of Delegates seats Red to Blue, retained all 17 of HoD incumbents and swept all six local races where they ran. 🧵
