How to watch the 2021 election results
CBSN
Voters in Virginia and New Jersey are going to the polls Tuesday to cast a ballot for governor in the closely watched first statewide elections since the presidential election.
The race between Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin is a close one going into Election Day, though the state has not elected a Republican statewide since 2009. But Youngkin has had the momentum leading up to Election Day, appealing to suburban, exurban and independent voters with a sharp focus on education and the economy. McAuliffe has tried to tie Youngkin to former President Trump, although Youngkin has kept the former president at a distance.
Polls close at 7 p.m. in Virginia and at 8 p.m. in New Jersey. Early voting in Virginia ended Saturday. New Jersey's early voting period ended Sunday.
