Just got home from observing ballot counting in my precinct in Fairfax County. Based on the results I saw, it will be a disappointing evening for Republicans unless there was strong turnout in conservative areas.
which precent are you in?
I’ve been following the Jeff Fredericks/Toddy Puller race; he carried the few pcts in Stafford but she’s blowing him away in Fairfax and he’s not doing as well as he needs to in PW based on returns so far: 5 of 15 (IIRC) in FFX and 13 of 25 in Prince Wm.
Apparently the Rs lost on in NOVA, close in Tidewater (but behind) and about 4 pts up in Central VA.
It may just be a big disappointment after all. Those military-heavy areas don’t help when it comes to election time.
Did I say bless you for working the polls? Horrible job. I did it when I was much younger, don’t know that I could do it today. Back when I did it, at least Fairfax was still pretty R, but those days appear well over. Watch the county go down the tubes just like any Dem-controlled jurisdiction.

Here in the 6th, I have to admit it wasn’t looking so good going in and the ground game was not good. I got no less than 6 calls asking me to vote for the dem, and not even one call from the gop camp. There was no gop presence at the dem precincts at all.
This does not bode well for next year and leads me to my prediction of many months ago....barky has a very good chance of winning re-election. Not because he is a better candidate. Not by a long shot. But because the gop is completely unprepared to win elections by doing something other than opening it’s checkbook.
