According to your map, Virginia was blue last year and is blue tonight. Virginia is now a blue state. Trump, himself, lost Virginia a year ago by almost a quarter million votes.

Northern Virginia drives all elections in the state, now. There are too many voters up here in this part of the state that vote in super majority percentages for the dems. Arlington and Alexandria routinely vote 80% dem. Last I looked Northam won close to 70% in Fairfax County. Close to 1 out of 3 votes originate in Northern Virginia.

Tidewater is no better than 50/50, add Richmond and that means the rural areas of the state have to make up a huge deficit from the urban areas and there is just not enough people in Scott County, Bath County, etc to make up the difference. Repubs now get 80%+ in these rural counties but there is not enough voters in these small counties.

Today, a blood bath took place at the voting booth and some seem to think that is a good thing. It appears the repubs will lose the House and most all House seats in Northern Virginia - most are now gone for good and will never be won back by Republicans.

They are gone because there aren't enough Republican voters up here anymore. As some celebrate the loss of the House tonight, think about the implications.

New US House seats will now be drawn up with Dem input with a Dem governor and dem state house. The state senate is up for election in 2019 and republicans have only a 2 seat edge. If the pubs lose the state senate in 2019, the pubs will have zero say in how the US House districts are drawn, as well, as state house and senate districts. Republicans will be gerrymandered down to three or four US House seats, as well as gerrymandering the entire state house and senate districts.

Justice in WV flipped to the Republicans. Just a small update to that map.
