Democrats worry about election fatigue in high-stakes Virginia special elections

Published



Tuesday is Election Day in Loudoun County, Virginia, for two seats that will likely stay with Democrats but could flip control of the commonwealth’s upper chamber if an upset occurs, and Democrats are not taking any chances.

A pair of seats in the state legislature in the northern Virginia county, one in the state Senate and one in the House of Delegates, could affect the 51-49 Democratic majority in the state House or the 21-19 Democratic majority in the state Senate. The race for House District 26 is between Democrat JJ Singh and Republican Ram Venkatachalam, while the race for Senate District 32 is between Democrat Kannan Srinivasan and Republican Tumay Harding.
