Since when is turning over a long-held majority in any state legislature “minor league?” There is a Democrat Lt. Gov. who will break all tie votes. Last time VA had that situation the Lt. Gov. was Tim Kaine who cast a lot of votes that hurt people in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

No. There is no provision to break a tie in the VA House, which only means that if the Dems all vote together they can still stop any Repub measure they want.

Well, WE got Mawful cause people didn’t like Cuchinellis’ haircut, now we got a REAL LIB lackey because the ‘establishment’ foisted a ‘loser’ upon us and more stayed home so we end up with 3 LIBS in charge (AGAIN).

I personally ‘like’ Corey Stewart but believe he is too much of a lightning rod for the hell he raised in PW a few years back.
Both of these lib Senators should be vulnerable BUT hard to tell anymore.

Jill Vogel should have gotten LTGOV - hell ‘they’, the party of the people(GAG) ran a Black and never mentioned him until the Rs FINALLY asked WTF but the combination of people staying home cost us LTGOV and AG .

Lost a good R seat by plain stupidity - he/she/it won because the R Opponent wouldn’t recognize it - at all- I mean wouldn’t debate and basically didn’t even run against it - didn’t WE learn anything with the BO debacle? It kept saying it didn’t want to use the man calling himself a woman just because HE wears a dress but kept ‘returning’ to that theme.

Lost another good R in Fauquier/PW to a Peruvian(??) immigrant ... the incumbent railed on her bankruptcies - not real smart when dealing with ‘working class’ people.
Maybe mention it once but don’t make it your dining room centerpiece...Reminded me of the Bob Dornan-Sanchez race in CAL few years back.

Like has been previously stated Rs NEVER win by less than 500, D keep the ‘recount’ up till they win by a ‘couple’ then just shut down the recount...AND -predictably the Rs just pack their bags and go home.

Sorry to say it will probably get worse than better...

Time to move into that light house or mountain top and say F em all.....

I believe that only applies to the senate and there is no mechanism for a tie-break in the house.
