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