Virginia voters headed to the polls to elect their governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, as well as a slew of delegates in the lower chamber.

Democratic candidate Abigail Spanberger held court in Richmond as she awaited results, while Lieutenant Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears was headquartered in Stafford Tuesday night.

Both were poised to make history as the first woman elected governor in the Commonwealth, and Spanberger was the woman to do that Tuesday night.
