If you are a Virginia voter, report your anecdotal experience. Is turnout in your precinct heavy, normal, abysmal? Are you in a Red, Blue, or Purple precinct? How's the energy? Any voting irregularities?
Turnout at the cemetery is 110%!!!!...............🤔
If we learned anything from the 2020 election, it is that in-person turnout means little when there are semis full of mail-in votes waiting at a consolidated Fairfax County counting megastation.
My son reports turnout in Loudoun County was steady in the rain!
Predictit.org went from 57-46 to 44-60 fix is in
Drizzling here in Richmond...Polling place is 1st Presbyterian Church on Cary Street...Parking lot is half full now, but it was full about 2 hours ago.
We voted about 6:45, this morning, and not much of wait.
Early voting was massive, and heavily of the Dem persuasion:
I sneaked in back to peer through the polling place window and saw Dem operatives pushing ballot after ballot into big shredders they used to fill up piles of huge plastic bags and I saw a couple I recognized from the voter line in front both carrying Bibles and they were tied to chairs and being beaten.
Then I felt a heavy thud pain on the back of my neck and the next thing I knew I woke up really groggy in a ravine behind an auto parts junkyard. Maybe I dreamed it all.
Well this thread is disheartening.
VA is a very blue state. Almost impossible for GOP to win at this point.
Virginia is called, “Old Dominion” for good reason.
The fix is in.
This, in the article:
“ The dramatic increase comes after new election legislation in the commonwealth and efforts by both candidates to mobilize their partisan bases to vote early. ”
Repeat: BOTH candidates.
We live in a fairly rural area just outside of Charlottesville, 2 min wait, steady flow of voters, seems like a pretty good turnout but not as heavy as a presidential race.
How? Because a penny market center made a swing?
This, also in the article:
"And data suggests that he has an edge over his GOP opponent in pre-Election Day voting. Democrats make up 53% of the 1.1 million who sent in their ballots early, according to TargetSmart. That compares with 30.9% for Republicans."
I have never known predictit to be wrong
I saw that, too.. but what is NOT mentioned is the indie vote, the lion’s share of which Youngkin has in his corner this time around.
I really don't want to be a spoilsport. It has just pained me to see everyone hinging so much on this state election, where voters are very blue, and so darn much of the voting was done before McAuliffe made his true colors known. I'd rather be realistic today than broken-hearted tomorrow.
Don't think for a minute that I don't want Youngkin to win. I really do.
