Virginia Mega Thread: The Youngkin Administration

[Kung Fu Kenny]

Does anyone have any actual useful information about what is going on?

Not on this website, no

[wbrocks67]

The fact that turnout surges are happening in both Dem and GOP areas makes the likelihood of a 2020 vote equal unlikely, and also Trump's fav/unfav is 41/58 in a tied 2020 electorate?

What do you guess?

The exit poll being 46% Biden and 46% Trump calls into question a lot of things

But do people not remember when the CA recall exit poll was off by 8%?

It had Newsom winning by 16% but in reality he won 24%

It also had Biden approval at +15 and then by the end it +23

Unskew em all!

I have a question for all of you. What's one county/city you're going to be watching incredibly closely? For me, that would be Radford.

I think I'd go with Prince William County.

I'm assuming you picked that to see the margins. I picked Radford as I think it's an underrated bellwether. Montgomery County is another one.

Prince William County will be very key for margins and turnout. If Ds can't get the turnout they need there and/or Youngkin does better than I expect among minorities, it'll be hugely significant. Loudoun on the other hand, while important, isn't really as singularly relevant, even if it is symbolically the place that the election was most hardly fought.

[jamestroll]

Prince William is not voting for Trumpkin.

The Jurisdiction in nova to look at is Manassas and Manassas Park.

i am also asking kindly that people are civil in my thread. It reflects bad off me if this thread is a dumspter fire.

This is important to remember. The early exit polls are not good at all and in a closer race that sort of variance could mean much different results in the real returns.

Forumlurker161 when the handpicked DNC white male candidate with no charisma loses to the borderline-white nationalist with a funny last name and Manchin, Sinema, Biden, and the DNC just watch the fire burn

Makes perfect sense.

I don't see why anyone would hold you responsible for that.

If Youngkin doesn't win there are going to be a whole lot of angry blue avatars on here. They are boosting themselves up for a landslide that might not even happened based on an early exit poll.

And even if he does win you won't see Democrats threatening violence or demanding audits. That is the difference between the parties.

lol. You forget riots in 2020 by your friends. And accusation of fraud in 2000, 2004, georgia,...

What riots in 2020? And the fraud accusations in 2000 and 2004 were nowhere near as mainstream among Democrats as the fraud allegations are amongst Republicans. Don't reply to my posts with your silly self.

BLM riots but I see that you are in denial. Even for the rest. lol.

You were implying that there were riots over the election. No one is talking about BLM, but of course you people have to bring it up at every turn. Typical.

please...

Would be funny if Youngkin pulls off a big upset tonight but by the time 2022 rolls around Bidens approvals are higher and the midterms are a wash for Republicans.

The turnout reports don't suggest the environment is 46-46... but I'm not an expert.

If GOP is more enthusiastic, as polls suggested, it's, what you should expect more or less. + people that switch party sometimes "forgets", whom they voted for.

It's actually been surprisingly civil how people have been on Election Night so far.  Maybe I'm jinxing it but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pleasantly surprised.

That's from 2016, you said there were riots over the election in 2020. You lied and got called out. Let it go.

Remember no matter how enthusiastically you cast your vote.. it does not make it count more.

So in his last pitch McAuliffe had nothing more to say than "Trump bad" and kept bringing up Youngkin's Trump endorsement. Youngkin actually spent his last pitch talking about his policies.

this is blatantly false lol

Youngkins' entire message was CRT = bad and Virginia Public Schools = bad

Uh, no? Did you read his last pitch speech? If you did, and that's what you took away from it, I don't know what to tell you.

Regardless, even if that was his entire message, that's still talking more about policy than TMac did, who thinks he's apparently running against a former U.S. president rather than an actual gubernatorial candidate.

AP Vote Cast exit poll has education decently lower. Interesting if we get a 2020 Edison. vs Votecast again

In the race between Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin, 34% of Virginia voters say the economy and jobs was the most important issue facing the state. Seventeen percent name COVID-19 and 14% choose education, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of voters.

Health care (7%), climate change (7%), racism (5%), immigration (5%), abortion (5%) and law enforcement (4%) were all lower-tier issues.

I just think no one should take these exit polls to seriously

I mean, don't get me wrong, they are fun to talk about and enjoy watching both Dems and republican freak out at over them, but ultimately they tell us very little about the actual election
