Polls have closed in more states. Right now we’re very closely following a number of key congressional races where Republicans are running non traditional people for seats in the state of Virginia, where there are three vulnerable Democrats, women.

will end up capturing those seats. The third district in Virginia that we’re following is one where a Vietnamese born male is taking on a white woman in a very heavily Democratic district, and it appears he will not succeed in dislodging her.
