I've seen stories about Republicans doing very good in early VA voting but without hard data I wrote it off as typical campaign rah-rah by the GOP. HOWEVER, this highly detailed analysis of the data from early voting so far in the Virginia gubernatorial race comes from a LEFTIST source. If you doubt that this guy is of the left, check out his other videos such as his "AMERICA HAS DIED" video to see his leftist bonafides.

So strangely enough, because he is of the left, and because he is definitely a data guy as you can see in this video, his analysis of the state of the VA gubernatorial race based on early voting gives him a lot of credibility. I'll be checking the "Voting Trend" channel on his analysis of VA early voting thru election day.

One thing not answered in the video is WHY Republicans seem to be doing well in the early voting in VA. One reason is that Republicans have embraced early voting (I've been doing it for years to AVOID long Election Day lines) and there might actually be a Charlie Kirk effect at work here in which the reaction to his tragic death is affecting GOP turnout patterns.

Good to see Republicans getting off their couches and paying attention to the rot around then — for a change.

I hope this indicates something, but polls show Spanberger at +9. I know polls can be wrong and biased, but they are a reality check.

Like I mentioned above I had seen reports of bigger GOP turnout in the early voting but, with no hard data provided, I wrote it off as typical campaign boosting from the Republicans. However, this Voting Trend guy is most definitely of the left and hates what he is seeing but since he is also a hard numbers data guy, he is (sadly) reporting what he is seeing. So, ironically, the fact that he is a leftist actually gives him credibility when he states that the GOP is doing well in Virginia early voting.

p.s. Also we might have been underestimating the revulsion felt by the public to the near albino witch whom many have seen (and heard) in Virginia for the first time.

Spanberger could have locked in the win by biting the bullet, denouncing Jones without the mealy mouth, and calling on him to drop out. She would have been praised all around for taking a principled stand for common decent. But no, dems these days are about nothing except power, no matter what. I hope she pays a bitter price for it

Republican turnout improved? It just shows that there is a Rising Tide of Racism in America (trademark pending)!

"I hope this indicates something, but polls show Spanberger at +9. I know PUSHpolls can be wrong and biased, but they are a reality check."

There, I corrected it for you. Think of the 2024 Iowa "gold standard" PUSHpoll.

A major meltdown in the Democratic Party started after John Fetterman appeared at a NewsNation town hall and did what few in Washington have even attempted —— he tried to turn the temperature down.
<><>he said: “I know and I love people who voted for President Trump.
<><>They are NOT fascists, they’re NOT Nazis,
<><>they’re NOT trying to destroy the Constitution.”
<><>“I REFUSE to call people Nazis or fascists.
<><>I would never compare anybody—anybody to Hitler.”
<><>Fetterman also shared an inconvenient truth about his own party’s talking points
<><> pointing out how health care subsidies were “DESIGNED Dems to expire at the end of the year,”
<><>adding, “This is NOT something taken by the Republicans.”

Special Prosecutor to Investigate Va Candidate, murder fantasizer Jay Jones,’ Reckless Driving Case
Hotair ^ | 10/22/2025 | John Sexton
FR Posted on 10/22/2025, 9:02:48 PM by SeekAndFind

One of the many problems facing Jay Jones’ campaign this month has been a story about reckless driving. Back in 2022 Jones went driving on the I-64 freeway east of Richmond, VA and got pulled over for speeding. The speed limit on this stretch of freeway is 70 mph. Jones was caught driving 116 mph, which works out to 46 mph over the limit. Any speed more than 20 mph over the limit is automatically classified as reckless driving and usually results in more than a fine. But not for Jay Jones. He got a sweetheart deal from the court.

If you were caught driving 46 miles per hour over the speed limit in Virginia, would you expect to serve jail time or at least have your license suspended or driving privileges restricted? Those are the kinds of consequences many Virginia drivers have had to face but Jay Jones did not...

Court records show, one man was found guilty of driving 115 mph in a 70 in New Kent County. He got 10 days in jail, his license was suspended for six months, he was fined $2,000, and once he got his license back, he could only drive to and from work.

On the same day Jones received his sentence, a Woodbridge man was sentenced to 30 days in jail for driving 115 mph in a 70-mph zone. The Prince William County man’s sentence was suspended as long as he didn’t speed again. The Woodbridge man’s license was suspended for six months, then restricted, and he was fined $1,500...

Jones, a former Virginia lawmaker, got no jail time for driving 116 mph in a 70 on I-64. He paid a $1,500 fine, his driving privileges were not impacted and he got 1,000 hours of community service......

I think it is more like “we have a chance this time”.

Many Republicans gave up, not out of not caring, but of not bothering to fight a lost fight.

Be on the lookout for FAKE BALLOTS cast on Election Day (and after) if these early voting stats are correct. Spanberger has been acting panicked lately so that means she knows she is BEHIND on the early voting from where she should be so desperation would create the motive to produce FAKE ballots.

I would think it would be harder to pull off on the off-year elections. More people can focus on it.

Probably why Democrats typically do much worse off-year.

Also the AG is a Republican (Miyares).

The primary purpose of early voting is so the ground game can identify who has not yet voted and focus their message and get-out-the-vote effort on them.

For example: Early messaging can target pro-2a, pro-life voters and work to get them to vote early. Then messaging can shift to low taxes, less regulation, less spending and the ground game can focus on them.

In a coalition like MAGA different things motivate different members of the coalition. To try to make all issues the #1 issue at the same time motivates nobody.

I’m hoping the GOP effort can at least minimize the Dem’s advantage in counties like Loudoun, Prince William, Fauquier and Stafford. Those are the collar counties around Fairfax County.

throw in a decent GOP turnout in Henrico and Chesterfield counties and the GOP ticket stands a decent chance.

Um... Did you actually WATCH the video? Fairfax County itself was analyzed via comparing 2021 early voting to what it is now.
