I observed noticeably high turnout when I went to vote at 9:30 this morning. I live in a Republican-dominated suburb.
Voted this afternoon in Queens county area of NYC and it was dead.
It would be better news if the Republican votes weren’t being counted as Democrat votes.
Not sure about that. An increase in Dem voters could be offset by Conservatives staying home rather than vote for a GOPe candidate.
VA Conservatives who stayed home in ‘12 had zero handed back to them, those who stayed home last year had McAuliffe handed to them, maybe they’re figuring out the co-relation between sitting home and going to Houston in a Handbasket.
I’m noting from anecdotes here today that a lot of senior voters are especially motivated.
Does that also include the old chevys with trunks full of pre marked ballots?/sarc
have you seen the machines? Warner in a fraud landslide
Bobby Scott (D) in Norfolk is running unopposed in the Virginia 3rd. If his supporters don’t have a big reason to turn out to support him they may not be there for Mark Warner.
Just a wild theory on my part, but...
Really? I was just going to ask, what does this mean.
Good news, assuming the voting machines haven’t been all doctored.
What is going on in VA?
I hope the sane people vote this time.
If it’s close, keep an eye on Fairfax County. They usually report last in the state. It’s not uncommon for the “machine” to produce the votes need to nudge the Democrat into the lead. Just ask Mark Obenshain and Ken Cuccinelli.
Voted at 4pm in Northern Virginia, bluest of blue Alexandria City. Only about 5 people in front of me with only two ladies checking ids. No campaign people outside like last time hounding me with Obola campaign literature. Mark Warner signs everywhere and only one Ed Gillespie sign which looked like somebody might of moved it so you would not even notice it. In 2012 there was lots of Obola’s low info people everywhere. Not this time, Mark Warner might want to be concerned from my observation.
