It’s COB Thursday, so the State Senate and House of Delegates online Blue Virginia polls of Democratic primaries are now closed; see below for the results. Keep in mind, of course, that these things are certainly not scientific, and also that they can depend heavily on things like how hard campaigns pushed their supporters to vote in them. In other words, take the results with a large grain of salt. With that, here are the final results, many of which (e.g., Rosalyn Dance crushing Joe Morrissey) didn’t surprise me, but some of which (e.g., Andres Felipe Jimenez beating Del. Kaye Kory) definitely did. What do you think of these results? Feel free to weigh in.
