Wasserman drags NSV, too!

[Thunder98 🇮🇱 🤝 🇵🇸]

VA Beach is all in!

56.7%-42.7% Youngkin.

He is almost at Bush 2004 margins!

91% in and 118k votes. It's not impossible but I agree with The Washington Post. Youngkin is favored to win based on what's left but there's a small avenue for McAuliffe as well.

[FT-02 Senator A.F.E. 🇵🇸🤝🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦]

T.M.A gained around 4000 votes in the latest update putting the margin to 116K

I am in accordance with Chips here.

Democrats need to give voters a tangible reason to turn out for them as they did in 2020. This isn't rocket science. If the Dems care more for their corporate donors and protecting parliamentary procedure than they do for raising the minimum wage or enacting paid family and medical leave, we'll be seeing more results like this.

Case in point, imo:

Seeing NJ Results and listening to Initial D makes me feel like a far right winger

Rare for me to not be negetive but what is the alarmist about NJ?

I know 51% is in but almost all of it is GOP. So shouldn’t the remaining 49% be overwhelmingly Dem?

Ciattarelli winning Bergen County.

Dems lost because of Filibuster??

[FT-02 Senator A.F.E. 🇵🇸🤝🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦]

Yeah, I'm basically in agreement with Phil and Chips here

Calling it now: Youngkin will be Trump's running mate in 2024.

If Republicans are smart, they would leave the recently-passed Virginia Voting Rights Act alone.  They would be concluding that they benefit from high-turnout elections at least as much as Democrats do, and that it is in their interest not to erect barriers to that.

Nah I could actually see him trying to run for re-election in 2029 and that would kill his chances.

[Alben Barkley]

So looks like tonight we will see a big Adams win, narrow Youngkin win, Murphy underperformance at least, socialist mayor/local candidates and defund the police ballot initiatives failing in deep blue cities…

Almost like I'm more in tune with the electorate than the "progressives" on Atlas or something! And even some of the more mainstream Dems who were deluding themselves into being bloomers and calling me a doomer (laughably, given how I was constantly called a bloomer last year and in 2019 for the KY race), using mental gymnastics to explain away Biden's abysmal approval ratings and the polls showing weak results for Dems. And arguing endlessly that NOBODY could POSSIBLY care about any of this "woke" stuff because THEY personally don't care about it!

I DID live through 2010 and 2014, you know, and even voted in those elections. And a lot more too. Almost like I have some idea of what races are more likely to go which way, when, and why because I've lived it.

[NOVA Green]

Quick question....

Any intelligent poster here know how Virginia counts Provisional Votes?

Are they included in the initial results, set aside to be counted later, etc....?

Ciattarelli winning Bergen County.

     The numbers there are quite puzzling. Murphy won Bergen by 15 last time, and now Ciattarelli leads it by 7. I thought maybe he was from there, but he isn't.

Thank you Alben Barkley! Very cool!

Dems lost because of Filibuster??

They're losing because they haven't delivered on the universally popular economic proposals of the Democratic platform, which is partially due to the deification of the filibuster and the parliamentarian.

Uh, weren't you rooting for TMac? How are you more in touch with the VA suburbs than the people who decidedly rejected him?

You are not going to win, Terry

Lmao, most of those races were a given weeks in advance. Stop huffing your own fumes, they are apparently toxic.
