Virginia G O P Broadens Claims After Election Night
Republican campaigners said the party gains in Virginia hint at a two party government as Democrats held the state house. The results included Dr. William Ferguson Reid becoming the first Black member elected to the House since 1891 in Richmond Henrico. A rural Charles City county vote produced the first Negro sheriff and clerk of court, independents defeating long-time Democratic incumbents. Counts lagged with three senate races and seven house races still undecided.
