I just voted in SW Virginia. Rural area, goes usually about 58-42 for the good guys (or at least the less-evil guys). More cars than usual for off year elections but no real wait inside. This was about noon. I'd guess that it was half of 2016 (Trump), and about equal to when Cuccinelli lost a very close race without any establishment help in 2013 to McAuliffe. Although the Dems have an edge in VA now, I still think it is very winnable for Republicans. My hope is that we pull out a win in a close election. For those conservatives sitting out because Gillespie is kind of gutless, I know you won't listen but it still needs to be said. You are not helping.
Agreed. My family has been in Nova for the last 100 years and the demo change in the last 10 years has been crazy. The elementary school my oldest son started in was 12% ESOL in 2006. Now it’s 65% ESOL and title 9.
Just damn. What has happened to the Commonwealth?
NoVA usually comes in last
That's very depressing if true...
Scott Lingamfelter, Jackson Miller, and James LeMunyon losing. Soon there will be no Reps from NoVA in the House of Delegates.
Live Estimates of the Final Vote: Northam 7.8

No....but he is an a-hole.
I worked my tail off for Ed Gillespie, I begged him to get Trump to come into Virginia and campaign for him. No such luck. Goodness, even Steve Bannon and Breitbart went all our for Gillespie. B
Jill Vogel and John Adams may yet lose their race for Lt. Governor and Attorney General...but right now as Trumpers, they are running stronger then Gillespie. Sad...what the Republican establishment did to blow this once-in-a-lifetime political opportunity to blow the entire Democrat Party into Kingdom Come, politically!!! Corey Stewart would have done better...but, Gillespie gave it his all!! Sad!!!
Thanks. Like all major metro ‘RAT areas, they’ve got to manufacture the votes. I’m only *half* kidding...
Demography is destiny.
That’s what we are seeing. Democrats poured tons of money into Virginia.
and we all know that Carl Rove is always right?
Transplants!
That would be really bad. The House of Delegates is the solid bulwark against much of the leftist craziness.
Ed was a dud. No more RINOS.
Many Americans are allowing liberals and RINOS to turn the USA into an illegal immigrant / Islamic country. Sad and dangerous.
“Demography is destiny.”
Then our destiny is to become New South Africa.
Denial just ain’t a river in Egypt. The GOPe in VA, especially in NoVA, just can’t face reality. VA is a blue state and it is not coming back. It will get more and more blue. The US is headed in the same direction.
we’ve been occupied.
Now hoping the Yankee’s wins don’t extend into our legislature.
