Candidate who streamed sex acts loses, but it was close

The big picture: She lost by a little under three points, hardly the blowout one might have predicted.

• And it doesn't look like the scandal cost her all that many Democratic votes, at least in Henrico, which she won.

By the numbers: In precincts that overlap with Democratic Del. Schuyler VanValkenberg's successful Senate run, she only ran 187 votes behind him.

• In three of those, she managed to outperform VanValkenburg.

The bottom line: Ultimately, voters in deep-red Goochland sunk Gibson, wiping out her lead in Henrico.

• And there's no way to know how much of that turnout was motivated by the scandal surrounding Gibson.
