All 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates were contested . The Republican Party held a 66--34 majority in the House of Delegates before the election but lost 15 seats to the Democratic Party, resulting in the Republicans holding a 50--49 advantage . After a recount, the result of the election in the 94th district was called a tie . The candidate to hold the seat was determined by random drawing on January 4, 2018, which resulted in the Republicans holding a 51--49 majority . </P> <P> The election was marred by electoral irregularities, such as robocalls falsely telling voters their polling places had changed and voters being assigned to the wrong district . These irregularities led to lawsuits and a delay in the certification of the election results . Several candidates filed for recounts, one of which changed the result, the first time in almost 30 years that a recount in a Virginia election had done so . That recount's results were not certified, however, due to a questionable ballot; a tie was declared and a random drawing gave the seat to the pre-recount leader . </P>
