I’m in southwestern rural Virginia and voted early on Friday. Took about fifty minutes at 9 am. About fifty people in line at any given time and the line never shortened. My husband and I were 7253 and 7254 and all early voting in my county was held at the county offices in one area.
Now the voting has moved into individual precincts. By 8 am, one of my friends in an even more rural precinct had voted and was number 1002.
So, this is going to be a blowout in percentage of eligible voters.
Just saw a post from a friend in Virginia Beach at his voting precinct at 5:40 a.m. and the line was hundreds of people long and took him almost an hour to vote. He stated the line remained long even after he voted. Another friend from a different precinct in the Virginia Beach area chimed in they were seeing the same types of lines.
If there is even a hint of Virginia turning Red it is over for Bite-Me.
I hope and pray that the GOOD people of VA, and I’ve been there, have enough votes to counter the FRAUD of the DC Suburbs........................
Early voting is not such a bad idea.
I am in central va and no line number 231. Probably an outlier.
I live in King George County. Voted early two weeks ago but definitely more Trump signs here and in Westmoreland County.
I live in Western Henrico County, VA. Went to vote at 6am. Line was probably 150-200 yards. (some social distancing BS, but not much) Drove back by the same poll at about 8am and line was much shorter.
From what I’ve heard about Virginia, most of Virginia leans conservative and Republican. But they have been outvoted in recent years, by the DC suburbs, Richmond area, and Charlottesville area. It probably will all come down to voter turnout.
Apart from the election results, I certainly hope and pray there is no election violence tonight and the days ahead. Businesses are not boarding up their buildings due to fear of Trump supporters starting a riot. I think we all know that.
My family is in VA, brother is in VB. The lines during early voting for him were 2-3 hours long - granted, this was on Saturdays. He gave up a couple of times, then finally “bit the bullet” and just waited it out to vote. Most of our family voted early this year (30 minute wait) - got some elderly folks who cannot take ED waiting/lines & needed curbside ... while we were there with them, went ahead and voted too.
...we moved to Virginia in the early 1970s and it was a decidedly conservative state then....over the years, with the influx of a lot of immigrants and the turning very blue of what is now the Richmond area, the Tidewater area and the Peoples Democratic Republic of Northern Virginia, my beloved Commonwealth will probably go for Biden overall...anyway, we now live in The Lone Star State of Texas which will probably go quite well for Mr. Trump......!! good luck, Virginia...!!
Virginia Beach has been a split area. I’m thinking if lines are short in the Richmond and Northern Virginia area, it means the dema are not turning out on Election Day. Those are liberal strong holds.
Part of the blue turn in Virginia was the huge expansion of federal government. I believe the other half was the infusion of leftists board members and professors at the state universities.
I’m in PA-—more rural area...waited an hour. I used to work the polls and 15 minutes would typically be a long wait. Cars would pull into the parking lot and drive right out as the line was literally a 4-5 blocks long.
HUGE turn out at my polling station. More than I have ever seen before. Now, PRAY!
If I were a liberal I wouldn’t spend 2 hrs. in line especially since all the news have declared Biden with a double digit lead and an assured victory
The Loudoun County registrar was on WMAL yesterday; if I understood correctly, she said that 150,000 of 280,000 voters had already voted early/absentee. That’s 53 percent.
Over the last thirty years there has been an increasing flood of people from Maryland moving into Northern Virginia to take advantage of lower taxes, less regulation, and lower home prices. They flee to leave those problems behind and then methodicalcally elect officials who promise to replicate the very conditions they fled from.
“I live in Western Henrico County, VA. Went to vote at 6am. Line was probably 150-200 yards. (some social distancing BS, but not much) Drove back by the same poll at about 8am and line was much shorter.”
Exactly the same for us in Richmond. Went to polling place at 1st Presbyterian Church at Cary St & Lock Lane at 0605. We’ve voted there since we moved here in 1979. I’ve never seen a line before; took us a half hour to get in. As of 0900, no line.
Voted at 8:30 pm in Fairfax County. No line. At all.
