Don't see anything in the news so far about these election results.
NBC stopped updating their numbers at 96%, however they have slightly different numbers from the unofficial virginia state election results.

Virginia is likely going through to make sure everything is complete, so the official results may not be know for a couple of days, but the results of a very contentious race are pretty interesting -
Polling seemed to indicate McGuire was ahead in polls, and had Trump’s backing.
Good had his incumbancy and position as head of the freedom caucus.
I followed this all evening and I could not find an honest answer...
Call me a Conspiratory nut case, BUT, all night long McGuire was ahead...all of a sudden the numbers FROZE.
I knew at that moment that something was wrong.
NOW, all of a sudden it’s a TIE.
I’m not buying it. McGuire had better come out the winner or I will personally SUE everybody in Northern Virginia.
Low turn out at my precinct. Not a lot of interest. Lots of Bob Goode signs in my area. Lots of folks that I talked to were tired of the nonstop negativity from the McGuire camp. He was still my vote, but I think there were lots of folks that switched in the past month.
Has it been decided?
How could you NOT be negative in the world that surrounds us?
I try to keep my family optimistic, but it isn’t easy.
I hope McGuire wins.
This is the one in which I was most interested.
I was monitoring it all evening, and when I saw that the numbers were frozen...I immediately thought there was going to be a problem.
And sure enough, although McGuire was ahead all evening, there was a sudden turn in the numbers.
WE HAVE GOT TO FIND A WAY TO PREVENT THE CHEATING.
The Honor System only works where people are Honorable.
I had coffee with John MCGuire on my front porch, several moths ago, before the 5th district GOP rally. (I was a delegate) So I got to talk with him, for the most part I agree with him. I think he will work with Trump when that time comes.
I know it is politics, and I have been to several conventions, but I would rather hear what good the candidate is going to do, instead of how bad the other guy is.
You are very wise, and having personal contact with an individual is a good way to find out just how they really feel.
Contratulations on your landing a personal conversation with him. I like him and I hope he succeeds in getting elected.
Thnk you for your information...which I had a hard time finding...and let’s hope he is sincere.
Seems this kind of result is all I see any more.
” I will personally SUE everybody in Northern Virginia.”
The 5th district includes the majority of Southside Virginia. Within the district are the cities of Charlottesville, Danville, and Lynchburg. Borders North Carolina.
“and let’s hope he is sincere”
A lot of Republicans are sincere before they get to DC.
Then DC corrupts even the sincere ones.
OH...Okay.
Goode would not cheat. i see him often on Bannon’s War Room, and he is a true patriot., and has a very high conservative rating. McGuire does not.
OMG, what a nice thing to read.
If Good is honest...and he appears to be a good person...if the Northern idiots find, let’s say, 400 ballots for him, he would investigate.
If that’s the case then either guy would be OK in my book.
Update...
