Just voted at my precinct in Richmond, Virginia

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

One of the poll workers said turnout has been good. Fingers crossed!

1. Turnout seems poor in my red part of the state, which is good. nt

2. Good

I was born in VA.
Wish I could vote there...
Washington State is so reliably blue
It gets boring...

[lagomorph777]

3. I would LOVE that kind of boredom.

I would get sick of winning. Wait, no I wouldn't.

5. You have special State Senate election today for control of the chamber.

[MFM008]

10. yup....voting

of course.

[PearliePoo2]

6. Yeah, the West side of the Cascade Curtain drags the East side kickin' and screamin'. lol

My County had a whopping 88.25% voter turnout in 2016!

Clinton- 66.57%

Dump- 24.95%

11. exactly

That KILLS the rednecks.....and I go...

[crazycatlady]

4. And RVA is blue!!!!!

8. Good. I voted early today on my run.

Normal at 6:45 to have no one else there.

Remember (as stated on another thread) NoVa is notorious for being late turning in their numbers as is Richmond. Gillespie may look to have a lead early in.

Also - Chesterfield is crucial to absorbing some of Richmond and Henrico. The Repubs need a big turnout there and hope some recent Dem gains don't increase.

9. I voted this morning at my voting district in Charlottesville.

12. Good luck to you in VA!

I will be voting soon here in PA.

13. Warrenton, Virginia Family of 4 Voted!

Warrenton is Virginia's 5th Congressional District represented by Tom Garrett Jr. (R). The voters in this district do love their Republicans but this town is becoming more diverse and hopefully by 2020, it'll be a swing city;

2016 General Election Results, Precinct 203 - WARRENTON (05)
Hillary Clinton 43.34%
Donald J. Trump 50.05%

Can't wait to see who will be Congressman Garrett's challenger on the Democrat side for 2018. This GOP right-wing nut job is known to have been socializing with white supremacists;

15. Welcome to DU!

Tonite I am paying VERY close attention to not just the big votes (Gov, Lt. Gov and AG) -- but to the delegates.

I'd love to get the statehouse back.

[Hortensis]

18. Yes, welcome to DU! Wishing you a good start on 2020.

[Raine1967]

14. I am hearing good things for Henrico County.

Would love to see that precinct go blue!

[DeminPennswoods]

16. Looks like the heavy rain has mostly left NoVa

That should help afternoon turnout.

17. Voted at my Central Virginia purple precinct.

Not real busy, turnout was 43.4% at 2:30.

McAuliffe won by 2.1 points in 2013 with a 57% turnout.

Hillary won by 0.7% in 2016 with a 77% turnout.

Fingers crossed here too.
