For reasons I cannot quite understand, the returns from NoVa (the DC suburbs such as Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, etc.) always come in late. Why? Just because there are more votes to count? How, then, is it that Philadelphia’s returns are always among the first to report in Pennsylvania?
Well, whatever, it’s a well-established and predictable trend. The NoVa vote, which will be strongly for Northam, will be reported late. Gillespie should lead early, but unless it’s a double-digit lead with 50% in, I won’t get too excited.
115% voter turnout Philly could report a week early if they wanted to.
