There are an estimated 300,000 Muslims living in Virginia, the vast majority in the northern VA area adjacent to Washington, D.C.
Mukit Hossain, president of the Virginia Muslim Political Action Committee, said his group believes there are 60,000 registered Muslim voters in the state and he is working to mobilize voters to get out and vote Democratic.
"...I think we can make sizeable impacts," Hossain said. "I think we made a difference in the gubernatorial race" between Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican Jerry Kilgore. The group supported Kaine, the winner of the race by just more than 113,000 votes.
Amazing.
