Hey, Virginia enjoy your chains.
The ‘independent’ third candidate is now the favorite tactic of the left. We must do something to stop these people. No doubt the Dems are paying third party candidaftes big sums under the table to run.
Not really, as Wexford won a clear majority. The idiot spoiler had no impact on the race. The voters willfully chose a collectivist hustler.
Let's get real. The Dem candidate received 53% of the vote. The other 47% loses regardless of how many candidates there are.
And let's talk about the 33rd district. The vacancy was created because a Dem, Mark Herring, was elected AG. It is a solid Dem district. It went 59%-39% for Obama in 2012 and for Kaine 60%-40%. It was redistricted in 2011 making it more Dem. Herring won his race in 2011 54%-46%.
It is 57% white, 10% black, 21% Asian, and 12% other. It is 20% Hispanic who can be of any race.
The Rep was always the underdog in this race. I don't understand all of the hand-wringing about the loss, which was expected. VA is purple trending solid blue, It is just a matter of demographics. The numbers are against us and it will get worse as every cohort that turns 18 is more Dem than the previous one.
