Republican Ed Gillespie and Democrat Ralph Northam both claim momentum is on their side with one day to go before Election Day in Virginia's high-stakes, closely watched race for governor.

Agree. I live here and do not believe a republican can ever again overcome the dem voter fraud machine. Plus mcaulliffe restored all prior felons voting rights to give the dems even more of an advantage.

A copy of my post on an earlier thread:

He’ll win the most counties, but amassing enough rural votes to counteract the huge numbers in the Northern, Richmond metro and Tidewater areas will be vital.

Here’s praying Northam is boring enough to blunt those numbers.

Oh, and if you want to keep up Tuesday night, note that Gillespie will lead handily early on. Note the precinct numbers will be curiously absent in a number of Dem stronghold districts. Curiously absent until all other results are reported.

And, will wonders never cease, Gillespie’s lead will have vanished.

Ask George Allen about this phenomenon. It happened to Donald Trump just last year.

Nope.

NOVA is predicted to have a lot of rain tomorrow. Don’t know that makes much difference but at least the fascist Yankees there will get soaked.

For the Dems, especially in NoVA and among blacks, Northam is also a terrible candidate. He is considered a red neck with his Southern accent. It will be an upset if Gillespie ekes out a victory.

Yep, I’ve seen this time and again. Norfolk, Newport News, Hampton and Fairfax County are almost always held to the end of the count and then suddenly come in with just enough votes to put the Dem over the top. The reports I read today are that voting is going to be higher in the Hispanic areas of Northern VA and the absentee ballots returned in Fairfax County are high, from the government employees who live there. So Gillespie will have to run stronger in Tidewater (VA Beach), Southwest VA (coal country) and the rural central, west and south parts of the State. Cuccinelli ran much stronger than the polls said the last time as did Gillespie against that execrable Mark Warner so we will see.

Voter fraud coming in from NVA will be hard to overcome and EG is not exactly a conservative. I’m not sure if he can get those rural voters to come out like DJT did in PA, WI and MI.

And EG is a McCain republican so who cares if he wins Gov of VA?
We’re trying to weed this dinosaurs out of the picture.
As we’ve seen on the national level there is very little difference between someone like Jeff Flake, McConnell and Charles Schumer and Maxine Waters.
I don’t care if they’re labeled a Republican.

Did you have show proof of citizenship to register to vote? I have lived in Illinois, CA, WA & FL, registered to vote in each and no one ever asked me to show my naturalized citizen certificate. I can’t recall ever being asked to show Photo ID to vote either. I am now new in FL, and do not know if they will ask for photo ID. In WA state 100% of voting is by MAIL, so no need for ID to vote. My mailman can steal my ballot and vote.

Although it is good to hear they ask for ID to vote absentee in VA.

Here is how I respond to your post. Simply take a good hard look at the young lady that is running for Lt. Governor with Ed Gillespie. She is as CONSERVATIVE as they come!!! End Of story!!!

Corey Stewart is probably the best candidate to face Tim Kaine. The fact that Ed Gillespie would be the Republican Governor that Corey Stewart backed 100% increases Stewart’s chances of defeating the most useless, Tim Kaine!!!

Dem candidate voted for GWB twice.

But the lieutenant governor has blemishes of his own in a Democratic primary race. He conceded that he had voted for George W. Bush in each of his presidential campaigns, explaining that he was an apolitical doctor at the time and now viewed his decision as “wrong.”

Gillespie needs a 5 point lead to overcome voter fraud, vote counting fraud, and missing ballots mysteriously found which favor the democrat.

Praying our people show up... and bring a neighbor...

If the corrupt press starts using terms like ‘bellwether’ then Northam’s won.

They have access to exit polls and know what’s happening hours before the polls close... (well, unless it really is close)...

Dollars to donuts he’s personally performed abortions.

The women in the family probably have T shirts that say “I don’t date pro-life men.” Men or women who are serious about being pro-life would not be interested in dating pro-abortion people anyway.

Yes. They always hold back deep blue Fairfax results until the end of the night.
