Will Democrats Sweep Top Seats In Virginia?

Published November 13, 2013 at 11:35 AM CST

Votes are still being counted in Virginia’s attorney general’s race, in which 2.2 million ballots were cast more than a week ago.

Democrat Mark Herring, a state senator, is in the lead by 0.01 percent over Republican Mark Obenshain, also a state senator.

If Herring wins the race, Democrats will have swept statewide seats in this swing state.
