and worse the association for democratic reform compared the numbers of indicted l.p.s. elected to the lower house in the last 2 general elections and the increase has been spectacular 201434 percent of them face declared criminal cases by 2019 has it increased by almost 10 percent to 43 percent the proportion of those facing serious charges have also shot up from 21 to 29 percent so you obviously are not aware of the latest no i am aware i think you are not aware of something else several impedes have been disqualified from parliament because of getting convicted this was of the result of the campaign that many of us carried on now regarding those who have allegations against them you call them in day comments we have our system is a little more complex it's taken from the british for many decades a goal of the election commission has got tighter and tighter and forcing declarations earlier many of these facts were not being declared so i don't think there has been actually an increase of criminal m.p.'s it has in fact been a decrease well that's your supposition but th

for the democrats. op the state senate side, there was an open seat. it was effectively 21-19 for the republicans and the associatedress has called two seats flipped for the democrats. they've also called the state senate in virginia going to the democrats. it means democrats will have the state senate. they'll have the state house of delegates, and they already have the governor. democrats get what they were looking for, complete control, executive and legislative. democrats won that state in 2016. this is the story of virginia really making that transformation from red state once to swing state a couple years ago. this is what a blue state looks like now. >> steve kornacki at the big board for us. thank you. it turned out to be a consequential election night. there's also this that we noticed tonight on twitter. remember julie briskman, the virginia woman who was fired for flipping off trump. she was waving at the motorcade but didn't use four of her fingers. she just won an election to her local county board of supervisors. one of the results from the commonwealth of virginia tonight. >>> coming up for us, donal

democratic seat. 49. really it was 51-49 coming in tonight. the associated press says democrats have picked up five, a net gain of five the a.p. says for house democrats on the delegate side. that is enough to get democrats into control there. on the state senate side, again, there was a vacancy so it came in tonight 21-19. and the associated press says the democrats have picked up two seats. a net gain of two. they needed one because a 20-20 tie they would have been able to break with the lieutenant governor's vote. get the state senate. the democrats get the house of delegates. the democrats already have the governor in virginia. they have the lieutenant governor. they have the attorney general. the democrats have complete control of virginia state government. just, again, to put that in some perspective, the transformation politically, the state of virginia, these are presidential election results in virginia going back to 1968. basically going back a half century here. look at this. these are republican martian he margins, right. we didn't think about it in presidential elections. it started to change, barack obama, somewhere betwe

chief congressional correspondent of the washington examiner and white house reporter for the associated press and democraticegists leslie marshall. your thoughts on the president turning up in afghanistan today. >> critical moment clearly for the peace deal in afghanistan that is long eluded the united states. the president wants fewer troops, there are 13,000 troops, he wants to down to 18,000 but you can't do that if there is no peace deal and we haven't been able to achieve that. that was called off a couple months ago with the explosion that killed an american soldier, no more talks, now he is saying let's start again, let's start this up but it is still a real long road to get from just talking to american troops leaving and i think the president is becoming aware of the fact that if all the troops leave the terror threat will build again, potentially threatening the united states. seems to me from listening to him today he made a comment about total victory which i don't think anyone thinks is possible right now but he did talk about the idea that if we get a deal fine, if we don't that's fine and if

democratic seat. really 50 -- 49. really it was 51-49 coming into tonight. the associated press says democrats have picked up five. a net gaven five. the a.p. says for democrats on the house delegate side, that is enough to get the delegates into control there on the state senate side. again there, was a vacancy. so it came into tonight 21-19 essentially. republican vacancy. it was 21-19 essentially and the associated press says the democrats have picked up two seats there. net gain of two. they needed one because a 20-20 tie they would have been able to break with a lieutenant governor's vote. the democrats get the house of delegates. the democrats also already have the governor in virginia. they have the lieutenant governor. they have the attorney general. democrats have complete control of virginia state government. it's just again to put that in some perspective the transformation politically, the state of virginia, these are presidential election results this virginia going back to 1968. basically going back a half century here. look at this. these are republican margins here. right? down through the years. we use the to call this a safe republ
