Clinton has been leading in the polls in Virginia. The number crunchers at fivethirtyeight.com note that results from Washington suburbs, in particular, will test how Clinton will perform in later primaries with more liberal Democrats.

According to FEC presidential campaign filings, Clinton has raised $3.2 million in Virginia, while Sanders has raised $552,500. That does not include money raised by outside groups.
