And let me add this to the list: Texas Voters Approve Constitutional Ban On State Income Tax
Contrary to the title of this thread, this is NOT really a good result for those who favor policies of Democrats.
It was more of a bleeding of support to the Libertarian by a less than popular Governor more than anything the Democrat did.
Didn’t Trump lose VA in 2016? The previous governor, friend of the Clinton’s, Terry McCauliffe, insured that.
This is some BS propaganda.
Thanks for the info. That helps. It seems maybe the R gov candidate wasn’t the best.
The Chinese folks in WA are not going to get pushed around on this AA garbage.
This could get interesting—because the guilt trips just will not work with them.
Good deal.. thanks!!
Much appreciated!
As a Virginia resident, I'm not feeling it.
I read somewhere that Soros subsidized a large portion of the Virginia elections. Go figure.
Yes, you are right.. that redistricting is definitely screwed.
Here’s why the writer should have taken a deep breath before writing: 1)Colorado a Democrat state soundly defeated an attempt to weaken the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights 2) In New Jersey Republicans flipped three Assembly seats (yes they are still FAR behind) and a State Senate seat that is the old seat of a targeted Dem Congressman (53/47) who voted against impeachment 3) Washington State stopped an attempt to bring back affirmative Action 52/48 AND the opposition was led by Chinese Americans who obviously saw a hole in the Democrats’ voter plantation and ran out. 4) 42% Hispanic in liberal Tucson voted 71/29 against making the city a sanctuary city.
5) By 15 point margin, Kentucky voted for a Black man as its Attorney General for the first time ever. 6) Forget about the victory at the top of the ticket, Mississippi’s Republicans voted in its first female and first African American Attorney General and had a clean weep in all elections. Miss is 38% Black and Democrats could not get them to vote for them. 7) In Virginia, a blue state because of Northern Virginia,Twenty five percent of the Democrat winners ran unopposed. As I said think and take a breath before writing.
Comment I posted in Free Republic worth consideration by Rush
In FR postings so far none have mentioned what voter turnouts were in those states having elections. Any analysis of the results which doesn’t include turnout is worthless when considering the impact on the 2020 potential result.
email I sent to Limbaugh 11/6/19
I agree, overall, last night was a B for the Republicans.
BUT
Republicans did not win the popular vote in Virginia. For the state Senate, it was:
1.2 million D votes, 54%
0.8 million R votes, 40%
with the remainder going to other (independents, third party and write-ins)
IF, if the races with no R or D candidate, I shift the entire “other” vote to missing candidate, then it’s
1.2 million D votes, 55%
1.0 million R votes, 45%
So, the D’s did have a big win in Virginia.
As for 2020, Virginia is below Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and. Michigan in terms of priority, and also below Minnesota and New Hampshire, and also below Nevada, Colorado and Maine-at large. It’s in the next tier, along with New Mexico.
