Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger appeared confident that she would succeed Gov. Glenn Youngkin (D-VA) as the next chief executive of the Old Dominion on the first day of early voting.
At a campaign rally outside the Fairfax Government Center, Spanberger encouraged a group of supporters to cast their ballots early as she seeks to defeat Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R-VA) in the November showdown.
“I look forward to the next 45 days of early voting for encouraging people to use their voices in casting their vote,” Spanberger said before reminding the crowd of the early voting window. “I know that at the end of these 45 days … early voting goes until November 1st.
“On November 4, I am excited about what the next chapter is, which is the part where we get to go to Richmond and we start to do the good work of governing well on behalf of all Virginians,” she continued of the Democratic ticket that includes Ghazala Hashmi, the lieutenant governor candidate, and Jay Jones, the attorney general candidate.
The Democratic candidate has consistently led Earle-Sears in polling and fundraising this year.

Yuck.
Am I the only person who thinks that forty-five days of ‘early voting’ isn’t such a great idea?
Yet another example of the absolute stupidity of the American public.
I’ve got no major problems with early voting. I’ve done it myself a few times. What bothers me is late voting wherein ballots get counted until the desired results are achieved.
Agree.
Early voting hours do not make it easy for those who work during the day to vote.
And there needs to be a law limiting the time to a maximum of one week or less.
A-frickin-MEN! How can anyone be voting for Spanberger???
Ms. Sears needs to learn fast how to make some headlines in a good way.
But maybe a three letter agency has their thumb on the scale since the Dem is an asset of theirs.
I got so tired of seeing those repulsive Spanburger commercials on YouTube that I signed up to pay $15 a month to watch it commercial-free.

Don't worry, Fairfax County has that covered. It delays reporting results until the rest of the state's results come in and then suddenly finds enough ballots with Dem votes for the Dem to win.
Racist Democrat murderers and terrorists.
RE: Abigail Spanberger Smells Victory...
People behind her supporter Jerry Nadler: “We can smell it, too.”
Nadler: Uh, which way did you say the restrooms are?
Wait’ll they take over the House.
The Republicans should make this an election about race sand hate and turn the table on normal democrat practices.
A black Republican woman is running against a white elitist democrat woman.
A gay Republican is running against a communist for Lieutenant Governor.
Seems to me if you don’t vote for Republican Sears you are a racist.
Isn’t that what the democrats would say.
The elites who run the Virginia Republican Party are incompetent buffoons.
Did Winsome do very much advertising? I get the impression most voters still don’t know a lot about her, or they have only seen one side of her personality. It should not matter but it does.
Agree.
At least that didn't have to take up space in Breaking News.
It’s posted on another thread today. I’m surprised to see this from the Examiner. Any of our FRiends on the ground in VA give us the vibe from there?
45 days is ridiculous and is designed to help the rats.
