We've just flipped the Virginia State Senate

The Senate is a virtual lock now, the House not so much. What’s the difference? If Dems were up in 55 seats at this point in day (I think they are)- the total margin combined of those 5 seats might be ~2000 votes or so. Even a 10 seat majority would be won by tiny margins.

For him to declare : "We've flipped the Senate" …….It is encouraging that there is a large turnout for off year legislative elections but no one knows for sure until the results come out …..
