Close Virginia Senate race forecasts Warner victory unofficial lead
In Virginia the Miller Warner contest stayed too close to call at midnight with Warner leading by about 4,512 votes out of 1,222,076. Miller did not concede and the official count was unlikely to overturn the result, signaling Warner ready to assume office. House races produced no changes, while pari mutuel betting and a property rehabilitation tax vote both failed or passed as foreseen.
