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

[MAINEiac4434]

Y'all I've been hearing nothing but good news for Northam. High turnout in cities and NOVA with decent weather. Depressing turnout in SWVA with crappy weather. I feel like he's going to pull off a 6 point win tonight.

The weather in NOVA is not exactly decent right now lol, but it’s not bad enough to affect turnout significantly.

People who don't vote because of rain probably weren't going to vote if there were long lines - or at all.

Meh, I think he wins by 3-4 points.

This is good for Democrats.

Anyone who doesn't vote because of rain probably shouldn't be voting to begin with.

Yeah sorry about my post, you're right. It's not great but it doesn't seem to be depressing turnout. I meant to say it seems to be worse in Trump-Gillespie areas and seems to actually be hurting turnout there. This is just what I have been hearing. So far it seems like it will be a good night for Virginia democrats.

Meaning turnout has already exceeded 2013, with many hours to go.

Oh lord. Gillespie has been using Trump tactics but has been trying to distance himself from him. Donald is probably using that "Disrespecting Vets" bullcrap against Northam... even though Ralph is a vet.
I imagine this must make Ed's stomach churn.

@fluffypanther19: Can you cut your signature height by about 60% please? There are new rules for sig heights going into effect (read here) but as well as for the election threads and yours is too big for sure (you could solve it easily by removing the first image)

@PittsburghSteel: Can you check your PMs?

oh ok. I been wanting to change it anyway

York county turnout so far at 39%

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Yep. Northam is going to win this. Turnout in democratic areas is going to be much higher than it was in 2013.

You sure? I am sure they are targeted to Trump voters who may not have voted for Gillespie otherwise.....

Seems like in most cases turnout is higher statewide so not sure about that either

I wish these turnout reports would specify if they include absentees or not.

[Jeppe]

Honestly, things seem pretty similar to 2013. I don't think I'd call it a Democratic victory yet, at least not till we see turnout reports after working hours.

Voted in Virginia Beach around 1PM around 800 out of 5,000 in my precinct had voted so far, no lines was in and out.

I'm guessing that's more good news for Northam... seeing as Trump won the county.

The Republicans just aren't energized today...

Which part of Virginia Beach? North/Center/South

I think your reading too much into these turnout reports. If 2016 taught us anything, its that turnout reports come back to bite you in the ass.

It's basically a 50/50 county with a slight R edge, Northam is from the area so he should do well here.
