VA-GOV 2017: It's a Wave (GE: Nov 7th - Thread #2)

[Shameless Lefty Hack]

People with jobs won’t be staying home because of rain.

It's not about staying home, it's about staying in line. At minimum, that cuts into people with jobs who forgot an umbrella.

Sigh, looks like its going to rain for the rest of the day in Nova.

YES!!! SOME NORTHAM VOTERS STAY HOME, GILLESPIE HAS A SHOT!!!

YES!!! DEMOCRACY IS SUBVERTED SO I CAN CONTROL WOMEN’S PRIVATES!!!

Just relax. Should Gillespie pull off the upset, he will be a great governor for Virginia.

Yeah more gerrymandering and making another Kansas are real great doofus

Nooo but Gillespie is a #sensiblemoderate.

Just ya know, one who gets "our heritage."

Can someone please explain to me why a state that voted for Hillary by 6 points has the magnifying class of America on it?

Aside from wanting to see your side win, this is (probably) not at all useful to extrapolate onto 2018 trends

1) it's the only close national race going on rn. Would it be better by your reckoning for the national narrative to focus on NJ or AL?

2) It's right by DC and all the journalists see the ads.

Standing in outside in line to vote seems like an urban phenomenon and not one that you see in the suburbs. All the NOVA precincts I've been to have the voting booths in the gym or cafeteria of a school, with any lines being inside.

Maybe I grew up in a town with unusual civic virtue, but I definitely have experienced out-door lines outside of a suburban gym (CT here, so in light of Maineac's point maybe it's a New England thing).

It was also a poorly designed space to be fair.
