NPR: 7. Voting matters. One of the big stories of the night is that Democrats are one seat shy of taking back the state Legislature in Virginia. If they were to do that and hold it in 2019, it would give them the ability to redraw congressional districts in 2021.
Currently, there are several races that are likely going to a recount, including one in which the Republican candidate is up by just 12 votes.
Other individual legislative races are separated by 68, 86, 124, 326 and 394 votes.
Democrat Ralph Northam won by 9 points, the widest victory for a Democrat in the governor's race since Gerald Baliles won by 11 points in 1985, when the state was very different
