Everything on the ballot below the top one or two races (president/governor/senator) is so irrelevant to the average voter that it would be hard to see racism influencing a down-ballot race one way or the other.
I seriously doubt a randomly selected 2013 Virginia voter could tell you the race of any candidates apart from those running for governor.
Add to that the fact that E. W. Jackson is a racially ambiguous name in a way that, say, the surname Cuccinelli is not and to a lesser extent McAuliffe is not (being more of an Irish Catholic name than an Ulster Scots name that an antebellum slaveowner may have conceivably had).
