Virginia Governor's Race Takes Center Stage on Election Day
-----------------------------------------------------------

Today is Election Day in the United States. In Virginia, a record number
of registered voters cast early ballots ahead of today's highly watched
governor's race between Democrat Terry Mc Auliffe and Republican Glenn
Youngkin, a former CEO of a private equity firm who's backed by former
President Donald Trump. Terry Mc Auliffe is close to Bill and Hillary
Clinton and is one of the Democratic Party's most prolific fundraisers.
He previously served one term as Virginia's governor and was chair of
the Democratic National Committee from 2001 to 2005.
