The district Newport News is in has the R leading by 12 votes, with 100% reporting-thats out of >23000 votes. 4 other seats are currently within 150. This will likely come down to provisional/absentee ballots.
 
Looks like Northam will win by 9pts. Largest margin in VA Gov race in 32 years.

David Wasserman was live updating on his twitter feed for a while, but he seems to have stopped (or perhaps there haven't been any developments in a while). I'm monitoring the 538 live chat now.

The Anti-Trump Wave Has Come, And Republicans Can’t Stop It - Jonathan Chait

"But there is also a heavy dose of genuine self-delusion at work. Since 2000, Democrats have been talking about Republican tax cuts benefiting the richest 1 percent. Conservatives have grown so habituated to denying or dismissing this figure, they have failed to wrestle with its implications. When they are committed to transferring resources to 1 percent of the public, Democrats can stand for the interests of 99 percent. They don’t need to take a radical left-wing stance to oppose the GOP agenda. They can defend the prerogatives of fairly affluent voters who are still getting hurt at the expense of the super-rich. It is a very favorable position.

In the meantime, there is no sign of any corrective impulse within the Republican ranks. Its voters are too far gone, locked into the bubble of party-controlled media and unable to grasp the need for a course correction. Fox News and other conservative media have already shifted the blame onto Ed Gillespie and his supposed failure to embrace Trump, after Gillespie had won the praise of no less a Trumpian loyalist than Steve Bannon. Its elites can think of no course of action other than to extract as much value as they can, as quickly as they can. They are going to face a reckoning."
