Dang. Hope that tide is changing.
What are the odds those same 60 percent vote Republican
My purple precinct in ffx county is at about 32% turn out which is low. Easily more ppl taking my GOP sample ballots than are taking the dems.
No moss on the NYT. They are showing live estimate of final vote as:
Northam +10
Gillespie +10
Estimated vote:
Gillespie 48.8%
Northam 48.8%
Hyra and others 2.4%

VA polls close at 7:00 p.m. ET.
FOX News reports top two VA issues are Healthcare and Economy. Gillespie wins on the economy but not healthcare.
People from Alaska can vote in that election?
Yes. He does not come close to McAuliffe.
90% of the land area of Virginia is conservative Americans. It’s not their fault that Yankees have taken over Northern Virginia and that means millions of voters that rely on the Swamp for their livelihood. The exact same thing has happened in Oregon and Washington State. A small area of the state has the majority of voters.
“When covering Tuesday’s gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN and the Associated Press will share the same exit poll data, as they have on every Election Day since forming a consortium called the National Election Pool in 2003.
But Fox News, a member of the pool until April, is striking out on its own and piloting a polling system that it hopes will be even more accurate.”
Curious what Fox produces vs the traditional exit poll data.
The NY Times Election page is actually good; it was the best live reference point during the Trump victory. I don’t know if they are predicting an even result or if that is basically just a setup before the first votes are counted. Anyone have any idea on that?
Funny I just realized the VA and NJ gov races were today over the weekend. Hope he can pull it out. Nice to know about Fox striking out on their own.
Ed, is a go along to get along type. He won’t get along in this political environment unless he changes. The Rinos are fast becoming extinct.
African-American turnout DOWN in VA versus Gov race in 2013.
Hmmm. Interesting.
From our friend McDonald: “City of Petersburg, heavy Afr-Am community, looking soft on turnout. Only about 5,200 voted so far, 8,300 cast vote for Gov in 2013”
Crazy McDonald dude again. His data is good. Analysis terrible.
National Review reporting that turnout significantly down in areas where the voters are predominantly black, such as Petersburg, and substantially up in the white liberal/left bastions of Fairfax County, Arlington and Alexandria.
Yep, that’s what I’ve seen also. According to exit polls: White College degree voters up from 2016 and White No College degree voters down from 2016.
it’s only a referendum if the democrat wins. If the republican wins, it’s a sign that too many racist, bigoted, white supremacist, misogynistic homophones were aided by Russians, Karl Roves evil weather machine and fox news to steal it from the poor minorities.
