@DCLongIslander It is.

In LG race, the map developing is split geographically: Rasoul winning west of Blue Ridge, Ayala east of the Blue Ridge. Not a winning recipe for Rasoul if that continues. #vagov #vaprimary

[RTeditorial @RTeditorial]

As expected, Rasoul winning Southwest in LG race but is he winning by enough? In Buchanan, he leads narrowly (21-19) but in other SW localities he has bigger lead. Currently trails statewide. #vagov #vaprimary

In the Oakwood precinct in Buchanan County, one vote was cast -- went to McAuliffe, Rasoul and Herring. #vagov #vaprimary

@ryanmatsumoto1 Proof positive of the need for rural broadband. Site hasn't updated out here west of the Blue Ridge!

[RTeditorial @RTeditorial]

@Redistrict Even with the early vote, I expect Roanoke to be significantly lower than 2017. And that's with an LG candidate from Roanoke. As you say, we'll see.

[RTeditorial @RTeditorial]

Turnout light today in #Vagov #vaprimary in Roanoke. In 2017, city had 5,937 voters. We're told early votes this time were 2,200; as of 3 pm, none of city's precincts had more than 100 in-person voters, some much lower. Appears that total vote will come in well below 2017 mark.

@teresatomlinson Dwayne Yancey here. So how's the math work? Does that put Biden over the top there?

[RTeditorial @RTeditorial]

@ron_fournier Please say what you mean. Did space aliens land in Texas or is there some unexpected swing one way or another?

@roanoketimes editorial: The @MLB proposal to cut ties w/42 minor league teams is assault on economic competitiveness of American heartland. Who will speak for those cities in labor negotiations? This is a political issue. https://t.co/QXEK9eIRIq

@CarmenMForman It was delicious. Brownies, too.

@betsywhalen @crookedmedia @washingtonpost @PodSaveAmerica @jonfavs @jonlovett @danpfeiffer @TVietor08 The better site to watch is this one: https://t.co/22JKaxvHAy More user-friendly display makes it easier to follow.

SBE is on it.

[VA Dept of Elections @vaELECT]

We are aware of the problem with the results on our website and are working to fix it. #VirginiaElection #VirginiaVotes

[RTeditorial @RTeditorial]

Advisory: I notice on the SBE site that in some races it's showing 100% of the vote in -- meaning the results are final -- but that's not the case. If you click through you'll get the precinct-by-precinct results that show the actual #s. Glitches happen. This is one. #virginia
