HORSERACE

Republicans Can Celebrate a Virginia Election Outcome. No, Really.

Boy, how long has it been since I've been able to report good news on an election night for Republicans? With results from 26 out of 26 precincts, and absentees included, Republican Frank Fannon and GOP-endorsed independent Alicia Hughes appear to have won seats on the Alexandria City Council. The Democrats will still control a majority of four out of six seats, but this is a couple ripples of red in a deep blue community in a purple state — the best news for local Republicans in a long time.
