Weird that Fairfax's margin in Albemarle is about 7 points larger than Northam's.

I'm not seeing anything like that.

So it's pretty much set the Democrats flipped the house of delegates?

if you mean by "set" slightly within the range of possbility.

Am I reading the map wrong or are the margins (relative to 2016) trending Republican in Alexandria and Richmond?

Here's your tentative swing map compared to 2013:

Lol at SW VA. RIP Manchin.

Thanks for pissing on the victory parade. Your point isn't even valid.

What do you mean? I was celebrating the loss of Racist VA Hicks earlier. Unfortunately, in WV unlike in VA, they are a majority.

The "racist hicks" of SW VA unlike most of the rest of the state just gave a black Democrat LG candidate more votes than either Northam or Herring.

Depending on where you're getting your results, it looks like Northam might have won James City County!

VPAP seems to have doubled the count for two precincts here (Jamestown B, and Roberts D), owing I think to these precincts containing areas in two different house districts.

The ideal Democratic coalition is cities+countryside vs suburbs, not cities+suburbs vs countryside.

Uhhh why exactly? Political geography isn't the same in every country you know, and nor would that be ideal.

Because left-wing parties ought to stand with poor people, and American suburbs are overwhelmingly wealthy.

Indeed, that shouldn't be the same in every country. In Europe where a good part of the suburbs are working-class, these places should vote to the left.

What is your definition of "wealthy"?
