Republicans held onto the Virginia Senate in fiercely contested elections Tuesday, leaving Gov. Terry McAuliffe without legislative leverage or political momentum as he works to deliver Virginia for his friend and ally Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2016.
The outcome was a blunt rebuke to McAuliffe (D), who had barnstormed the state with 24 events over the past four days and who portrayed the elections as a make-or-break moment for his progressive agenda.

As joe stalin said, "It's not who votes, it's who counts the vote".
That motto is the reason we have most demonRATs in office.
McAuliffe, president?
No way, not now, not ever.
Voters in NoVa....
Here’s the difference folks:
A) this is only the second election where Photo ID is required to vote...
2) local elections reflect directly the “will of the people” in that it’s hard to mess with the actual votes. State-wide is another matter because, as in FL (east coast votes then the west makes up the difference), our rural VA counties get counted early then the cess pits like Fairfax County make up the count they need to win...and in McAwful’s case, the VA GOPeeeee looked the other way on voter fraud because it suited their purpose to have Cuchinelli go down.

Saslaw would know all about messing with votes...just sayin’
Oooops! Did we break that?
You misspelled “voter fraud”.
I do think he won regardless of the Fairfax County Fraud machine. They stole the Treasurer spot and possible Lt. Governor. Funny how they always have the right amount of votes to win at midnight on election day!
Very low turnout in my precinct. In and out in 5 minutes. Voter ID, check. Paper bubble in ballot that you then feed into a machine, check. Your name is entered into a computer which spits out a receipt. The receipt is then presented to a person who give you a ballot. To overstuff a box you would need a list of those that hadn’t voted yet and a co-conspirator in the person handling the ballots.
It is a case of "Monkey See, Monkey do".
That brings into question the acumen, "good folks of Virginia".
On June 21, 1776, John Adams wrote:
"Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for liberty, "Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand.
The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our people in a greater measure, than they have it now, they may change their rulers and the forms of government, but they will not obtain a lasting liberty."
