Yes, but Republicans need a big turnout today to overcome what is supposed to be a big Dem edge in early voting. Let’s hope they get it.
No matter what happens..Youngkin ran a PERFECT campaign..he could not have done any better as far as Im concerned..anyone in Virginia would be lucky to have this man as Governor, if that does not happen, that’s on them
Apparently McAuliffe needs more than 350k to his advantage to start the night since the EVs will be counted first. There were somewhere around 1.1 million total early votes, with dems having 53% and R’s around 30%.
Remember, Youngkin commands a 10-15% advantage among the indies, when all this fleshes out among the EVs (estimates - D=583k, R=330K, I=253k), it comes down to McAuliffe (at the most, and that assumes all dems votes for him) starting tonight with a lead of less than about 230k. That assumes only a 10% advantage among the indies for Youngkin and all dems voting for McAuliffe.
Considering many estimates show Youngkin’s ED advantage to be around 66%, that deficit can be made up easily.
What Republicans need is so large a turnout as to turn back the cheating Dems.
