Of Fairfax County's 239 Precincts, 29 Went Red in 2014 Senate Vote

On election night, Virginia political observer Larry Sabato of UVA said for Twitter pundits to hold their fire, and wait for votes from Northern Virginia to be counted, before they counted out Sen. Mark Warner.

“On VA Senate...careful, prognosticators. Still very likely that Warner wins. Early votes unrep. Wait til Blue Wall (NoVa) comes in.”

The “Blue Wall” includes Fairfax County, which gave 176,364 or 56 percent of its votes, according to the unofficial tally from the State Board of Elections, to the incumbent senator from Alexandria.

Alexandria gave 70.1 percent and Arlington gave 70.6 percent of their votes to Warner. Prince William County also went for Warner, but just barely, with 50.4 percent of its votes. Loudoun County went a light shade of red with 49.1 percent of its votes for Gillespie.

The blue precinct in Fairfax County that delivered the most votes to Warner was Reston’s South Lakes precinct, with 1,471; the precinct with the highest percentage, 83% of its votes, for Warner was Fairfield precinct, in the county’s Hybla Valley community off of Richmond Highway.

The Fairfax County precinct that saw the highest percentage of votes go to Gillespie was Bull Run in Centreville, with 61.7 percent. The one that delivered the most votes to Gillespie was Clifton with 1,201.

Of Fairfax County’s 239 precincts, 29 saw their majorities go “red” to Gillespie.
