NORFOLK, Va. — Virginia's 2021 election had a lot going on for the top of state government.
Voters chose Republican businessman Glenn Youngkin, a political newcomer, to be their next governor (over Democratic former governor Terry McAuliffe).
Around lunchtime on Wednesday, the lieutenant governor and attorney general's races were still too close to call.
