David Wasserman 11:30 PM Our Final Virginia Delegate Count

We’re about to wrap this live blog, but here’s the current count for the Virginia House of Delegates. There are 100 seats, and Democrats currently hold 48, Republicans 47.

Here are the five outstanding races that will determine control — and may be in recount territory:

House District 27 (Chesterfield County): Del. Roxann Robinson (R) is up by 129 votes.
House District 28 (Fredericksburg): Bob Thomas (R) is up by 86 votes.
House District 40 (Fairfax): Donte Tanner (D) is up by 68 votes.
House District 68 (Richmond): Dawn Adams (D) up by 316 votes.
House District 94 (Newport News): Del. David Yancey (R) up by 12 votes.

If every one of these races breaks to the current leader, Virginia would have a 50-50 House of Delegates come January.

It’s hard to overstate what a terrible night this was for Republicans in Northern Virginia, but just to drive the point home, they may no longer hold a single delegate seat in Fairfax County after tonight. GOP Del. Tim Hugo, who was thought to be a strong favorite owing to his retail strength in southern Fairfax, is currently trailing Democrat Donte Tanner by 68 votes.

2. OMG!!!

I tried to stay up after 12 and wait for the results, but I'm getting old and couldn't hang lol. That and I can only take so much of Tweety at one time. Now that's what you call a sweep! And to think we had all these Chicken Littles running around yesterday slamming Perez.

4. Larry Barnetts sister came to my door yesterday morning for the 27th

It must be the closest race for our family to vote in. The 4 of us were important and maybe we will make a difference.

5. So can we start redrawing districts and gerrymandering to our advantage?

Same thing in my home state of NJ. Just like Republicans do when they control states.

What's our reasoning for not? If it's something like it can't be done on a certain year legally or whatever than fine, but lets start planning.

If the reason is "We have to be better than Republicans!" or "We don't want to turn off independents!" or "Let's wait until the courts decide if it's o.k.".......then fuck that.
