Nearly 25 percent of the vote is in, and Creigh Deeds has taken the lead in some unexpected counties.

Deeds now has a seven point edge in Chesapeake City, with 44 percent of the vote. He is also leading handily in Fairfax County and in other large counties such as the Richmond suburb of Henrico and Arlington County.

The large Richmond suburb of Chesterfield is nearly completely tallied the results. Deeds took the county with over 51 percent of the votes, which will number at 10,000 when the returns are complete. That is around 5 percent turnout.

Moran appears to have clinched Alexandria, but that is about all the noise he is making.
