1. Won't be decided tonight. Provisional ballots will have to be counted

[drray23]

2. we are looking good

There are a few more still being counted that will decide the control of the house.
It is very likely we retake the house.

Our Final Virginia Delegate Count
We’re about to wrap this live blog, but here’s the current count for the Virginia House of Delegates. There are 100 seats, and Democrats currently hold 48, Republicans 47.

Here are the five outstanding races that will determine control — and may be in recount territory:

House District 27 (Chesterfield County): Del. Roxann Robinson (R) is up by 129 votes.
House District 28 (Fredericksburg): Bob Thomas (R) is up by 86 votes.
House District 40 (Fairfax): Donte Tanner (D) is up by 68 votes.
House District 68 (Richmond): Dawn Adams (D) up by 316 votes.
House District 94 (Newport News): Del. David Yancey (R) up by 12 votes.
If every one of these races breaks to the current leader, Virginia would have a 50-50 House of Delegates come January.

8. Does this include provisionals? It seems like we can still pick up HD94 in Newport News.

That would give us an outright majority.

9. Folks at 538 said it'll be days before all provisional/absentee votes are counted.

I gathered that the most likely outcome is 51-49 (Dem control). It would seem 50-50 is the worst-case scenario.

10. Thanks for the info!! I am keeping my fingers crossed for a Democratic pick up. (eom)

[NastyRiffraff]

12. Even 50-50 is good

Lt Gov Fairfax can break a tie. I still prefer the Dem control, but this is better than ANYONE hoped for!

6. I just found this, 25 mins old

https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/virginia-general-elections

says 100% vote is in in 4 pink not called districts with a Dem in the lead in each ?

or that's what I see

edit, I'm reading this on my phone and musinterpreted the data...

[Hamlette]

7. thanks for the update.....its damn close, hope we win! Cross your fingers and thank you VA!!!!!

[bluecollar2]

11. 48-47 Democrats up by one seat as of now

Looks like two districts are trending Democrat and the other 3 are trending republican.

Could end up a tie in the house.

Magnificent job by the folks on the ground in Virginia and to the Candidates who stepped up.
