Virginia Democrats took to the polls Tuesday in their “firehouse primary” for the 4th District’s special election today, but the party won't start counting results until Wednesday morning.
The top two candidates in the race are state Sens. Jennifer McClellan and Joseph Morrissey.
The winner will have a significant leg up in February’s special election in a district that the late Democratic Rep. Donald McEachin won by 30 percentage points this November, just weeks before he passed away.
