Question for people who usually follow Election Night stuff: Does it take way longer to count votes in blue-leaning place everywhere, or is it just a Virginia thing? I was checking the results for my district (VA 7th) and just about every vote is counted except for in the one blue county. Seems kinda weird to me

Virginia has been that way for many years. It always looks super red early on and then there is a flood of blue votes at the end. The NY Times percentage of precincts reporting number also hasn't been a great metric for Virginia historically, I think because of unequal numbers of voters at different precincts. There's been times in past elections when based on the margin and the % remaining, it looked like it was just about mathematically impossible for the Republican to lose and yet they did, and comfortably.
