Virginia Mega Thread: The Youngkin Administration

[YE]

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.

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.

I’ve had to delete far fewer posts than I expected personally but I can’t speak for other moderators.

[Big Abraham]

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?

Link ?

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...

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

lol. The riots in 2020 were BLM riots. After, i prove to you that dems can also riot when they lose elections.

It's funny that TMac ran a Hillary 2016 campaign on steroids against a candidate who is much more of a Romney era mainline Republican.

[jamestroll]

Remember no matter what happens, Demographics are better in VA for Democrats than Republicans and another piece of history that is true is that the State Senate elections historically underperform the incumbent governors party. Yup, it did in 2019 as well.

The GOP is effective in campaigning against issues that do not exist. CRT, pandemic restrictions for example.

But objectively, Tmac ran a poor campaign.

That's good to hear.
Keep up the good work!

Random people rioting is not the same thing as actual Republican elected officials organizing an attack on the US Capitol and actively trying to overturn legitimate election results. You are comparing apples to oranges.

LOL. Sorry.
I can only drink decaf. My body reacts quite negatively to caffeine (in my old-ish age).

7 PM Poll Closing.  Ensure you look at the released early votes in Fairfax County and watch my vote live!

Let's see his tmac trails behind other dems.

If he is ahead.. it may end up being a rough night.

we asked users on "the Atlas forum" to provide some educated insight into the election tonight

I didn't think I was going to have to drink to deal with the outcome of this election. I still don't, even if Youngkin romps, but I might just need to drink to deal with other people dealing with this election.

[Skill and Chance]

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.

Fascinating.  This other exit poll looks like a narrow McAuliffe win. 

[Not Me, Us]

I didn't think I was going to have to drink to deal with the outcome of this election. I still don't, even if Youngkin romps, but I might just need to drink to deal with other people dealing with this election.

If this is what happens when an exit poll showing Youngkin winning comes out, then we're completely screwed if he actually wins. I, for one, will be dipping immediately until midterms.

This is fundamentally the problem. Democrats, as a party, go out of their way to not have issues and constantly promote candidates with no strong narrative re:why they should be elected. McAullffe, Clinton, Sinema, so on. Their pitch is essentially vote for me because I’m a good guy. Republicans go out of their way to invent issues to give them that narrative.

Half an hour till polls close.
I wonder if Atlas can behave itself in the meantime.

Literally everything. The sky had a <1% chance of falling one hour ago, but we got a new data point and now the odds are approximately 110%.

So McAuliffe will jump out to a massive lead at first. We'll see if it's massive enough to hold.
