Terry McAuliffe and Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin is as tight as the latest public opinion polls suggest, there\u2019s a chance we may not know who wins the race come Election Night. It could take a few extra days to determine the winner in the crucial contest.<\/p>\n<p>The vast majority of early voting and Election Day ballots cast in the race are expected to be counted on Tuesday. And a new law in the commonwealth requires officials to begin counting ballots already received by mail at least a week before Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>But mail in ballots will be accepted if they are postmarked by the end of Election Day, and if they\u2019re received by Noon on Nov. 5, the Friday after the election.<\/p>\n<ul><input id=\"img-1\" type=\"radio\" name=\"radio-btn\" checked=\"checked\"> <\/p>\n<li>  <label for=\"img-2\" class=\"next\"><br \/>\n          next<br \/>\n        <\/label> Image 1 of 2 <\/p>\n<p><span>Democratic gubernatorial candidate, former Gov.

That\u2019s a tiny fraction of the nearly 4.5 million votes cast in the commonwealth last November.<\/p>\n<p>But if it\u2019s a photo finish between McAuliffe and Youngkin, as the polls indicate, the ballots received after Election Day could be pivotal.<\/p>\n<p>Scott O.
