Just got off work from my swing shift out here on the West Coast, and wow was definitely not expecting to see these numbers from the VA House of Delegates elections....
I figured the Dems would likely eke out a narrow 3-4% win in the Gubernatorial election, with Lt Gov and AG being likely toss-ups....
Looks like Gillespie ends up only bagging the same 44% of the statewide vote as Trump did in '16, making one wonder:
1.) To what extent did the '16 Pres GE 3rd Party Voters (6% of the electorate) vote Dem for Gov in '17?
2.) To what extent did Trump '17 voters stay home?
3.) How many Trump '16 voters voted for Gillespie in the '17 Gov election?
4.) Turnout among counties--- anyone run comparative turnout numbers by County/City between '16/'17 to see what the numbers show?
5.) All politics are local inherently in these types of off-year statewide elections, but yet local election results do provide key indicators about the "mood of the electorate" to how the Republican Presidency and Congress are performing....
