Brace! Brace! Brace!

Before Biden got out, Virginia was starting to wobble,
Moved to Kamala after the coup, and it looks likes it might be wonbling again

Not sure but early voting doesn’t tell the story. The Repulicans turning out early may be Harris “Republicans”. Are early votes coming from really red areas?

If early/mail-in voters start breaking big for Trump, how long before someone on the left starts screaming about how the Russians are using these tools to influence the election outcome, and call for their abolition?

Early voting in Maricopa county is 50/50 D/R. Seems like quite a few Dems aren’t voting.

I really really want to see scumbag vindman lose his race in VA

Virginian here. The VA Republican party has been strongly encouraging early voting this cycle, contrary to previous cycles. I don’t think the early voting numbers have any significance in terms of the status of the race.

I bet that as of late, there are a lot of movers and shakers (and mover and shaker wannabees) in the Dem Party who are making “contingency plans” for when Harris loses. :-)

I would love to see Capt. Hung Cao beat Tim Kaine in that U.S. Senate race.

Their red hot hatred is ramping up to 10. Kamala will splice up Trumps rally speeches and air him saying he’s the devil. They are going to crack and crumble.
Media will parrot her lies.

How about I’m a federal employee and I hate my boss whom I happen to have the dirt on….. how do I get rid of them? Drop the dime on them with Trump administration. 😂

Part of that is being masked by the following:

More in person early voting places will be opening soon in blue urban areas

Until now they only had one
This includes Arlington and Fairfax counties

The rural red counties will not be opening more

For example Price William opened up more places yesterday and this was the result

Prince William County nearly doubled their early in-person vote totals in just two days.

The first 16 weekdays - 9,045
The last two days - 8,700

The early, in-person pace PWC has set the last two days will not continue, but suburban and urban areas are much more active w/ all early voting locations open.

I have not heard any call for republicans to vote early in Virginia, but, then again, I am probably not listening anyway. However, one thing I have noticed is that there are far, far fewer Harris/Waltz signs around than there were Biden/Harris signs this time four years ago. I posted the paragraph below earlier, but it is apropos to this article as well.

"I live in Northern Virginia, a place which votes so overwhelmingly democratic it outweighs almost the rest of the state. I voted early this morning [last Friday]. There was a sizable crowd, and it was surprising to see that most there were carrying republican sample ballots. The was, of course, a table set up offering democratic sample ballots, but they were doing little business."

They’re finally really resting in peace

Fewer campaign signs overall, but relatively few Harris signs. She doesn’t generate much enthusiasm, even in people likely to vote for her. After the election, her next gig might have to be Dancing With the Stars.

I'm heavily involved in VA politics. There's a strong push from the Republican Party of VA for people to vote early. I'm hesitant to disclose my location on a public forum, but I'm seeing far more Harris signs than Trump signs where I am on the rural side of NOVA. It's pretty depressing. I have noticed, though, that there are far fewer signs than usual overall. I think there are probably a lot of shy Trump voters who don't want to put out Trump signs.

The second half of this VA equation is this: Youngkin credited his Goobernatorial win, in part, to his campaign successfully filling every GOP election worker position in every precinct as VA law allows. Not a single VA precinct went without the maximum allowable GOP authorized representatives.
