Virginia is majority Democrat for the first time since who knows when. Also, that shift in Maine is kinda weird all things considered.

[Dr. Arch]

AK, AZ, and TX are looking really interesting.

[Sir Mohamed]

AK, AZ, and TX are looking really interesting.

Absolutely. Add GA to this list. It’s practically a tie.

[Frodo]

Interesting how Virginia is becoming both more conservative and yet more Democratic at the same time. 

Goes to show that perhaps Virginia Democrats would be better served with Ralph Northam as their standard bearer instead of Tom Perriello who has now identified himself with the more leftist wing.    

[GlobeSoc]

Interesting that West Virginia became more liberal and more republican by a relatively large amount.

[justfollowingtheelections]

Democrats win 304-234.  Damn you Hillary, damn you.

Yeah, Utah's 44 Republican 18 Democrat identification make me sad, especially since I know many of the Independents are Republican leaners anyway. Even if the Democrats got 1% more this time.
