Yeah, the numbers change depending on when you take a look at them. I’ll look again in a bit and call it a night.
I agree that we’ll see a few recounts BUT the rules in VA do not favor the recount challenger, so the gop might squeak by if they’re winning at the end of the nite.
Still, this is very unimpressive. The gop went into this thing holding some very good cards and is coming out with not a whole lot to show for it.
The VA GOP has one major problem ... age! I quit the county committee some years ago because as I looked around, the ‘young guys’ when I first joined all had gray hair .. no new young blood. And you just can’t do well in elections without young, new blood. They’re the ones who will walk door to door, do the lit drops, work the polls, etc. The old folks who’ve been doing it forever seem to like the committee meetings to get together with (literally) old friends. Nice, but that doesn’t win elections.
Something has to stir up the youth vote, but to most of the 20-somethings I know and see around here, “gay rights” is the civil rights of their generation, so they’re not about to vote for the GOP.
