Special Election Day – State Senate balance of power in play **UPDATED**

It’s August 19th, and there are three special elections on the ballot in various locations around Virginia today.

Most important is the race in the 38th Senate District between Republican Ben Chafin and Democrat Mike Hynes.  If Ben Chafin wins today, and most observers give him the edge in this heavily Republican district, Republicans will have a firm 21-19 majority in the State Senate.

In Northern Virginia, in the 48th House of Delegates district, Republican Dave Foster and Democrat Rip Sullivan vie to replace former Delegate Bob Brink, who took a position with the McAuliffe Administration’s Division of Aging.  Bearing Drift’s Brian Schoeneman is overseeing the Fairfax portion of that election.

In Norfolk and Virginia Beach, in the 90th House of Delegates district, Republican Marcus Calabrese takes on Democrat Joe Lindsey.

As usual, this will be an open thread where we encourage readers in those districts to pass on whatever thoughts they have, and look here for updated results after the polls close at 7 PM.

UPDATE

The unofficial results show that Republican Ben Chafin has won the 38th Senate district race 2-1 over Democrat Mike Hymes. The Senate will remain in Republican hands.

In the two special House elections, Democrats appear to have retained both seats, leaving the lower chamber’s partisan balance unchanged. It should be noted that with Chafin’s win, another special election will be required to fill his seat in the House of Delegates.
