Update: 10:15 p.m. With 95.24 of the votes recorded, and Republicans with a large lead over their opponents, the Republican candidates for state delegates have taken the 50th, 51st, 13th, 40th and 31st Virginia Districts.
With strong Republican incumbents, who have often times run unopposed, the fact that Democrats were able to chip away at Republican majorities as close as 54:45 is a victory in and of itself, and perhaps demonstrates a change of political affiliations in Prince William County.
However, at the end of the day, Prince William will be sending its Republican incumbents back to Richmond to represent many of their districts.
