Cities and northern Virginia always pop in later than the other counties, and are always blue bastions.What happened to VA? Longshot hopes got dashed?
Doubt it, Fox shows Trump with a 680k vote lead. And some of those mail-in votes have been counted already, Philly released some early in the evening and some around midnight.By over 15 points?
Well that boring as hell.No. What happens is that Congress uses a convoluted process to try to generate a winner: President-elect is determined by whoever can get a 26-state majority of house of representative delegations (that is, if a state has 5 Reps, then if you get 3 of them to vote for one person, then the state counts for that person). VP-elect is 51 Senators, sitting VP can't break ties. All these votes happen after the newly elected Congress gets seated. If there's no President-elect, the VP-Elect becomes President on January 20th. If neither, then we get Acting President Nancy Pelosi.
If we end up shooting at each other I regret it. Sorry.

Early voting/mail in being counted last, and northern Virginia might as well be a separate state named Northern Virginia with how much it tends to differ from the rest of the state. I can't be assed to look up the exact numbers, but over a million votes were cast early/by mail, mostly in high population, democrat heavy counties. That's why some places were willing to call the state from the start despite the in person numbers.What happened to VA? Longshot hopes got dashed?
If the early vote advantage is 2-1 in favor of Biden maybe.
