Original Note:
If the senator-elect is unable to take office, the resulting vacancy would trigger a special election, rather than give the seat to their opponent. Thus, Democrats would not lose their State Senate majority. Also, their name is spelled "Ghazala Hashmi," not "Hashemi." https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacodefull/title24.2/chapter6/article5/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghazala_Hashmi
