Virginia voters turned out big time for the state’s first day of early voting Friday.

Lines of voters stretched hundreds deep in northern Virginia and other parts of the state. Friday marked the first day of early voting across the commonwealth. In past presidential elections, Virginia voters needed a reason to cast an early ballot. This year, however, anyone can vote early.

Lots of upside to this. First, there does not appear to be a need for widespread mail-in ballots and the high turnout will favor Trump in Virginia.

The Federal Govt should send the welfare checks out on the day before the election. That way 90% of demonRATs will be too drunk, stoned, high on meth, or lost in a brothel, gay bar or topless club to bother to vote. Easy win!

Agreed.

In 2016, I believe a lot of potential Trump voters stayed home. Trump was an unproven commodity at that time (as an elected official) and besides, all the media was saying that Hillary had a 98% chance of winning anyhow.

Trump is the first president in modern times who actually fulfilled most of his promises - in spite of all the resistance and roadblocks thrown in front of him. Trump is a passionate leader who truly loves our country.

You better believe that every Trump supporter is going to crawl through broken glass to vote Trump this time around.

“Do you mind explaining why?”

Virginia is a traditionally conservative state and folks is southern and western Virginia are sick of northern Virginia voting for Democrats. That alone will increase turnout in the areas outside of northern Virginia.

People trying to beat the crowd and avoid COVID. This will subside.

So, didn’t anyone conduct exit interviews? Inquiring minds want to know.

No reason why voting cannot be done within 90 seconds. Sample ballot in hand.

My poll in ‘Cow Town USA’ handles about 300 voters. ONE voting machine run by two Little Old Ladies who have been at it forever and they don’t put up with ANY horseplay, or even talking in line.

‘Merica! :)

Someone is getting paid to show an I Voted sticker.

There’s no other reason to rush to vote like this.

This should be investigated.

Parasites will jump at any money they can get, as soon as
they can get it.

Normal people would simply vote any time that is convenient
over the coming weeks.

“The Federal Govt should send the welfare checks out on the day before the election. “

with the media/dems running wild in VA with all their gun control laws, is it possible that those who oppose gun control will come out in large numbers, enough to overcome the DC suburbs full of foreigners and liberal government workers?

It’s a publicity stunt, and the paper was probably in on it.
