This is a BLUE state that has traditionally voted Democratic in Presidential elections. It is solid BLUE when it comes to the Senate election. Most House Districts in Northern Virginia are solid BLUE, while much of southern and western Virginia is solid RED.
VA-2 is one of the key PURPLE House seats that Democrats must win to retake control of the House. And to play safe, VA-7 and VA-10 are categorized PURPLE to ensure Democrats retain these seats.
Senate Race
This is a Blue Senate race. No matter how you vote, the Democratic incumbent, Mark Warner, is going to win this Senate seat! Therefore you are wasting your vote to vote Democrat and you’re safe voting for a third-party candidate without risking the outcome of this election.
VOTE Mark Moran, Independent, for US Senate!
If you are uncomfortable voting for Moran, for whatever reason, consider swapping your vote with someone in a purple swing state, where voting Democrat really does matter. Your vote for an Independent in Virginia could mean a Democrat getting elected somewhere else. And the whole country is counting on that to put an end to the MAGA madness that is being propped up by a Republican Senate.
