Thank you, Lord Jesus. +++
Kaine`s comment raised a few eyebrows.. starting with his own.
So will the virginia pubbies go on a spending spree,
doling out mney to ther special little interests or will they go for that smaller gub mint is better gubmint?
I bet your taxes continue climbing there in Virginia.
No difference in the parties, just who gets the spoils
You are correct. I was working a polling station for 4 hours, and a large portion of voters had accents, indicating they were 1st generation immigrants. They love their voting rights.
In contrast, it was apparent the church sat this one out. There were three pro-life candidates in my district alone, that lost, with less than 25% voter turnout.
If the church doesn't get back into the public square, we are done. These candidates lost 3:1 in many Nova precincts.
We have well-run elections here, and out recount laws are very strict. You don’t go making up ballots, it’s about making sure the vote numbers were added up correctly.
It’s rare to swing more than a few votes either way here. We also use touch-screen balloting now. Plus, believe it or not, a lot of even the democrats in our more rural areas are people who would in fact concede a race because it was the right thing to do.
Don’t be jealous of us. We’re just a well-run conservative state. We have balanced budgets by law, we have a fully-funded rainy-day fund, and we just made it through the economic crisis without raising taxes. We still have a AAA credit rating as well.
This is GREAT NEWS and I look forward to seeing it discussed on the network newscasts,MSNBC and CNN...oh wait...
Or a recount would turn up a rash of illegal votes on behalf of then Dems.
Virginia has a strong voter-id Law and the State Police has a very anti-corruption focus. Fun and Games you might get away with in other states would lead to 10 to 15 at the State Pen.
Thanks LdSentinal, and thank you Virginia!
