For off year election it’s a little light but borderline normal.
So turnout or lack of it plus the libertarian vote determines the results. Got a feeling that is going to be the standard of all future elections
Good idea for a thread. Could have been posted in News / Activism.
Elementary question: Is VA open or closed primary?
Polls opened in Virginia at 6:00am this morning. At 6:45 I was number 101. Voted straight GOP all down the ballot. It’s not even the lesser of two evils this year — all the GOP candidates on our ballot are solid, God-fearing conservatives. I am proud to support them. I vote near Tysons Corner.
Hit abuse and ask the moderator to change it and create a live thread. SOP
Be on the lookout for the RAT walking dead.
i love Whole Foods... can't help myself... i do not shop there often--too expensive...
Turn out was low at my ultra liberal Falls Church polling place at 6:15am. I only voted there once before. I was an election officer in Arlington for the 2005 gubernatorial eelection and we had a pretty good turn out. I just hope the libs are over confident.
Who me?
Did you happen to notice? Were the voters mostly male or mostly female — or represented in about equal numbers? How about the age of voters?
Just got back yesterday from the metro area and am as sick as I have ever been. Picked it up up there. Something is definitely going around.
I will haul my carcass to my local polling place regardless.
May the GOP win.
No, Mama, it's worse.
125% voter turnout;
100% turnout with 100% voting for Leftists;
College brats voting four times in the same precinct, and bragging about it on Twitter;
The walking dead;
The illegals;
That is how the selection process goes in post-Constitution America.

I read that Dems feel turnout must be 40% for McAuliffe to win, but who knows?
Drudge has a story up about voting machines malfunctioning in Loudon, which is a swing county.
We’ll have good turnout in my precinct near Smith Mountain Lake. Lots of older (and conservative) voters have retired here and they do vote.
Voted in Richmond this morning. Only one person ahead of me in line. Sadly, the other people voting looked like typical Dem voters.
I voted at 8 a.m. here in the City of Richmond. Very light turnout in my heavily Dem precinct. I saw a couple of older conservatives that I know.
Compared to 2012, much lighter on minorities, females. There were more older voters.
In DC/Arlington we call Whole Foods...”Whole Paycheck”.
I wonder how many cities and how many precincts in No Virginia will have 105% turnout and not a single vote for the Republicans?
Western PW county. it was light but steady. never a line but never an open booth.
