WASHINGTON — Democrat Jay Jones secured a blue sweep of Virginia’s statewide offices Tuesday, narrowly defeating Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares — even after explosive text messages surfaced in the race’s final month revealing Jones’ support for political violence. With 93% of the expected vote in, Jones led Miyares by 5. 4 percentage points, a gap of fewer than 170,000 votes out of more than 3 million ballots cast.
