VIRGINIA: We’re finally seeing the gremlins get sorted out (at least, most of them!) We’re only going to report House races with more than a third of precincts reporting, and Senate races with more than a quarter, because of the wide variability in precincts.
In the House of Delegates, the Democrat currently are picking up three seats, though one is extremely dubious (HD-26, where the reddest parts are still out, and Democrat Brent Finnegan has a 66-34 lead). However, in HD-91, Democrat Martha Mugler looks set on claiming this GOP-held open seat: she leads 59-41 with half the vote in. Meanwhile, in the rematch in HD-94 that ended in a tie (!) in 2017, Democrat Shelly Simonds has a solid 58-40 lead over Republican Del. David Yancey with 42% of the vote in.
In the Senate, the Democrats currently lead in three Republican seats (they need one to claim the chamber). In SD-10, with 60% reporting, Democrat Ghazala Hashmi leads Sen. Glen Sturtevant by a 58-42 margin. In SD-12, Democrat Debra Rodman leads Sen. Siobhan Dunnavant by a 59-41 margin. And in SD-13, Democrat John Bell looks poised to claim an open seat, leading the Trump-endorsed Republican Geary Higgins by a 54-46 margin with more than half the precincts in.
