Election Night - Results, Projections, and Thoughts

Starting at 7 PM...unofficial results courtesy of the Virginia State Board of Elections.

7:25 PM - First Projection of the night, with 6% of precincts reporting...I'm calling Senate District 13 for incumbent Fred Quayle.

7:33 PM - 45% of precincts reporting and a 17% lead, I'm calling House District 68 for Manoli Loupassi.

9:16 PM - Key races I'm calling...Senate Districts 20 (Roscoe Reynolds) and 24 (Emmett Hanger).

I'm also calling House Districts 5 (Bill Carrico), 6 (Anne Crockett-Stark). 7 (Dave Nutter), 13 (Bob Marshall), 16 (Don Merricks), 50 (Jackson Miller), 59 (Watkins Abbitt, Jr.), 83 (Joe Bouchard), 87 (Paula Miller), 99 (Mark Cole), and 96 (Brenda Pogge)

9:41 PM - Calling two more Senate races...Districts 22 (Ralph Smith) and 27 (Jill Holtzman Vogel).

10:25 PM - New Senate races called...Districts 1 (John Miller), 6 (Ralph Northam), 28 (Richard Stuart), 29 (Chuck Colgan), 33 (Mark Herring), and 34 (Chap Petersen). Senate Districts 37 and 39 are too close to call at this point.

House races called...District 14 (Danny Marshall), 21 (Bobby Mathieson), 33 (Joe May), 34 (Margi Vanderhye), 40 (Tim Hugo). The rest of the key races are too close to call at this point.

Being that it is 10:30, and I have a job that is not tied closely to Virginia politics, I'm off to bed...we'll see how things pan out tomorrow.
