Source notes · U.S. House by county, 2022 vs 2026
File: VA.csv (133 localities: 95 counties + 38 independent cities; names/FIPS from Census national_county2020.txt). Columns: d = Democratic, r = Republican, o = all other U.S. House votes (Independent, Libertarian, Green, write-ins). Votes are summed over every congressional district touching the locality, across all vote types (Election Day, early, mailed absentee, provisional, post-election). The set of districts touching a locality can differ between years if district lines changed; each year is summed independently.

2022 notes. The two state sources each have one locality-level discrepancy: - The official SBE CSV has VA‑3 Portsmouth provisional Namkung (R) = 67, while the historical archive has 132 (archive Portsmouth R total 8,484 vs CSV 8,419). The certified district total (Namkung 67,668) matches the archive, so Portsmouth's R value was taken from the archive (+65). This is the only override. - The historical archive omits Alexandria's VA‑8 provisional precinct (Beyer 933, Lipsman 243, Fikre 31, write-in 1); the SBE CSV includes it and matches the certified totals (Beyer 197,760), so the CSV was used. - Other (+172): the SBE CSV reports 6,000 House write-ins + Foster 3,388 + Fikre 4,078 = 13,466. The archive gives 5,855 write-ins and Fikre 4,047 (13,290). The national aggregate 13,294 matches neither source exactly; the gap is write-in/minor-candidate tallies only and does not affect D/R.
2026 notes. Our snapshot is ~1 hour newer than the national aggregate (6:10 pm ET). The export includes 21,365 D / 4,898 R "Post-Election" votes (late mailed absentee/post-election processing), which is consistent with counts increasing after the national aggregate was taken. No district is missing: all 11 districts are present, each locality appears, and locality sums equal the export's statewide contest totals.
