Chesapeake: One Step Ahead

The City of Chesapeake appears to be the only Virginia locality that recorded for posterity results of the 2020 presidential election at the precinct level. Record-setting early voting in November made it impossible to know how well candidates did in each neighborhood. That's because localities tabluate early ballots in a 'central absentee precinct' -- not the precinct where the voter lives. But Chesapeake set up its ballots in a way that enabled it to assign early votes back to the proper precincts.
