Voter fraud costs money.

Democrats outspent Republicans 3 to 1 in VA. Why?

********************

This trend has been going on for awhile. So much for Republicans being the party of money.
I started noticing it with the Slick Willie Presidency and then it really took off with Obama.

Urbanization and globalization has been very good financially for the democrat coalition. At the same time, the environmental industry and their lawyers have butchered the finances of the rural areas. Areas that already lacked capital investments were given even more hurdles to overcome to produce prosperity.

The good news is urbanization and globalization peaked 10-15 years ago. It’ll be nearly impossible to create that amount of wealth with demographics headed lower and the way the labor supply is being wasted on nonsensical employment.

I'd imagine it was so they could win. Meanwhile, this would be an excellent question for Ronna McDaniel and the RNC: "Democrats outspent Republicans 3 to 1 in VA. Why?"

What exactly is the RNC saving its funds for?

A lot of people are fed up with gutless Republicans and have stopped donating. Even RINO Hugh Hewitt has reluctantly admitted it is happening.

“Democrats outspent Republicans 3 to 1 in VA. Why?”

Where did you see this?

I read the following on WHRO’s website, from September.

Independent political groups backed largely by “dark money” organizations and wealthy donors have spent nearly $1.7 million on Virginia candidates this election cycle, raising concerns about transparency and the influence of outside money in the tightly contested battle for control of the General Assembly.

The outside spending groups have poured more than $1.4 million in efforts to elect Republican candidates and $245,000 to support Democrats, paying for campaign ads, mailers, phone banks and door-to-door canvassing to support their preferred candidates, according to independent expenditure reports filed with the Virginia Department of Elections.

The reports, obtained by OpenSecrets and the Virginia Center for Investigative Journalism at WHRO, cover spending up to Sept. 12 and include funding for the heated June primaries.

This is from yesterday on www.newsnow. It doesn’t include dark money.

Republican candidates have fundraised more than $17 million in each chamber, which ranks the highest financial level for the party according to data as far back as 2011 (adjusted for inflation). In the House of Delegates, that reveals a more than $5 million increase since 2011, and a similar increase for the Senate races as well.

Still, those fundraising efforts are below Democratic candidates who report more than $20 million in fundraising for the House of Delegates, and more than $26 million for the Senate.
