Today is Election Day. At stake are a variety of decisions with local, statewide and national implications.

Democrats are counting on President Donald J. Trump’s low approval ratings to influence congressional races and give them a majority in both the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. The Wall Street Journal released a new poll last week showing 59% of voters disapproved of Trump’s performance, which the newspaper said was the highest disapproval number it has recorded heading into midterms since the newspaper began polling in the 1990s.

Democrats turned out in larger numbers than Republicans in all but the 6^th and 9^th congressional districts, according to an estimate by the nonpartisan Virginia Public access Project. Seniors 71 and older cast the largest chunk of early votes in the 1^st District --43% -- according to VPAP.
