It’s in how they count the votes. They usually count until the Democrat wins but that didn’t work last time. It’s amazing that the cities have the slowest vote counters.
Those are called “holdback” cities, because they wait for the other precincts to report their votes, and then they know how many votes they need to “find” in order for their favored candidate to win.

It is where the population lives. I’d guess it’s easy to count highland county with 2,321 voters compared to 1.1 million voters in Fairfax county.
