VA-GOV 2017: It's a Wave (GE: Nov 7th - Thread #2)

[Shadows]

@AnnCoulter
 .@EdWGillespie got the Trump voters! (White non-college grads) But thanks to immigration, there aren't enough of them in VA for GOPs to win anymore.

If @realDonaldTrump doesn't keep his campaign promise to build a wall & deport illegals, what happened to VA will happen to the entire country.

I hope @realDonaldTrump notices that the votes of felons and immigrants have made VA a solid Democratic state.

Hey @EdWGillespie! If your pals, George Bush & Haley Barbour, had been a little less enthusiastic about open borders, you would have won tonight.

This is how the Democratic Party wins "the war of ideas": We're going to WIN by getting felons to vote and bringing in immigrants to vote for us!

This "White Supremacist" vile woman creates non-nonsensical arguments for the loss & then equates immigrants to felons. Guess she is trying to replace David Duke.

Virginia HoD is now at D+14, 2 more flips to take control and Ds lead in 2 uncalled seats still. This was believed to be impossible initially.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Still 50-50. This is going down the wire.

[Bojack Horseman]

What the hell was that just about?

The idea that Democrats could win the HoD, even if by 50-50 (giving them a slim advantage), was insane before today. Massive swings and this many losing incumbents is extremely rare.

The last time Virginia saw a swing in seats this big was 1895.

[Doimper]

Are there any maps floating around of the flipped HoD districts?

Hard leftist mad over his sanctuary city flip flop

[Virginiá]

The nice part is that even going into 2019, there should still be enough competitive districts for Democrats to make some gains. And if they can convince a Republican senator to go turncoat, they can completely redraw the HoD maps before 2019 - assuming the HoD is at least 50-50 in the end.

I don't think Fairfax the Dem LG can tiebreak in the lower chamber?  Either way, it's an amazing swing, and at least 3 of the R-leading seats right now will be going to a recount, but it's likely that only 1 D-leading seat will have a recount.

The Richmond suburbs guy is the best chance for a party-switch in the Senate.

Update
seat  D  R  precincts
02: 63-37, 96% Called D + 1 by NYT
10: 52-48, 100% D + 2
12: 54-46, 94% D +3
13: 55-45, 95% D + 4
21: 53-47, 95% D + 5
26: 47-53, 96% Called R Hold
27: 50-50, 95%
28* out of left field: 50-50, goes to probable recount
31: 54-45, 96% D + 6
32: 59-42, 100% D + 7
33: 45-55, 100% Called R Hold
40: 50-50, 96%
42: 61-39, 95% D + 8
50: 55-45, 94% D + 9
51: 53-47, 95% D + 10
62: 48-52, 92%
67:58-42, 95% D + 11
68: 51-49, 97%
72: 53-47, 100% D + 12
73: 51-49, 100% D + 13
84* new addition: 50-50, 89%
85: 51-49, 94%
87: 62-38, 93% Called D Hold
93: 60-40, 100% Called D Hold
94: 49-49, 100%, goes to probable recount
100: 48-52, 100% Called R Hold

Dems are probably on tract to tie the chamber, or at least come close enough to take it in 2019.

40, 68, and 85 currently have D leads, and if Dems win all, they tie. If they flip one of the close Rs, or win a recount - that is a majority.

You just have to find some sort of way to be negative, don't you? Just stop.

Unless I'm missing something, the NYT results page doesn't have a map of the HoD districts.
