The cities and Northern Virginia always lag. They are reliably Blue.

The massive blue regions report last. Always been that way, even when I lived there.

(2,218 posts)8. Trump is currently leading
but it has to do with where the votes have come in and VA is still considered a firm Blue State when the rest of the votes come in.

(77,078 posts)11. Arlington and Fairfax counties, and Alexandria have yet to come in.
That's what makes Virginia blue.

(22 posts)12. Virginia also doesn't count its early votes until last...
... for some weird reason. Virginia will be blue.

(19,264 posts)13. Early vote doesn't START to be counted until after 10pm.
Biden has already won VA. Trump needed an election day blowout to overcome a 2:1 early vote deficit. He didn't get it. By midnight the totals will reflect Biden's win.
This is why the AP/NYT already called VA for Biden.
