Demographic Analysis of Virginia 10/19/21

It is Wednesday, October 20, 2021 and we are 14 days from election day in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  As of 10/19/2021 447,469 Virginians have voted early or absentee and that is 7.96% of eligible voters in the Commonwealth.  Likely Democrats continue to be ahead in the overall vote total statewide but with the Likely Independents being over 2% we would not be comfortable. Also, the Red to Blue Counties & Cities continue to be a place to watch with control of the Virginia House of Delegates on the line.

The Commonwealth of Virginia does not have party identification by voter registration in the voter file.  So, in a state like Virginia, L2 models party ID by primary ballot selection and L2 modeling. If you have questions regarding this, please feel free to send us an email, a tweet.
