It is Monday evening; November 1st tomorrow is election day in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Over 1 million Virginians have voted early or absentee and that is 17.99% of eligible voters in the Commonwealth. Likely Democratscontinue to be ahead in the overall vote total statewide by roughly 200k+ vote margin. But how much of that margin holds tomorrow remains to be seen.
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.
