How can you call a race with 1% counted? Even if 100% of those ballots are cast for Kaine there are still 99% of the rest of the ballots to go through.

Over the next 50 years, Corey Stewart supporters will doggedly build a narrative that he was only defeated by Tim Kaine's Northern industrial machine, that he fought for Virginian rights, and that Trumpism was a benign institution
