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

[Yank2133]

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.

Shut up, you don't live here.

:clap:

Great Job VA GOP, making me even more disgusted with my party.

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

LOWER TAXES(FOR THE RICH)

THEOCRACY NOW!!!
NO TO MEDICAID EXPANSION



I swear the amount of low to middle income voters who think their taxes are going to get lowered when most of the benefits will go to those with higher incomes....

Yeah, the man who ran on Confederate statues and race-baiting will be a fantastic governor.

While Northam ran on sanctuary cities and refused to condemn a PAC ad suggesting that Gillespie supporters attempt to run over latinos with their trucks.

We've got nothing better to do I.M.O.

[Fudotei]

All of Virginia's Congressional districts are getting gerrymandered and there's nothing you can do about it because of rain lmao

Because Pundits are itching to use VA, regardless of who wins, to push their preferred narrative.

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.

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.

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.

[Matty]

I think NJ is a bigger story than VA

It would be an actual flip of party control

Turnout in Arlington is now 37% at noon.

I live in a suburban area (in Maine, natch) and last year the line was out the door. Had to wait outside in 2014, too.

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.

If poll turnout is at 29% and absentee turnout is 8%, total turnout should be 37% right? Arlington is throwing me off a bit.

Yes

Falls Church is at 42% at noon

[Kamala]

42% of actual turnout or of 2013 turnout?

[Devout Centrist]

^ Why do Gillespie's biggest surrogates have to be so stupid?

You’re definitely first among equals when it comes to bad Gillespie surrogates.

[Jeppe]

42% of actual turnout or of 2013 turnout?

Actual turnout, 42% of registered voters have voted.

[Kamala]

Actual turnout, 42% of registered voters have voted.

That’s fantastic.

Can someone confirm to me: is dwarves dragon a troll or are his views all over the place?
