so i guess that includes the absentee/early voting?

Many Democrats still only vote on special occasions.

AP news as of 8 min ago:
Youngkin still leads by 10% with 65% precincts reported.

yeah, unless something huge comes, it looks like he's the new gov.

but again, have no idea if that figure includes absentee/early voting or just live voting today?

the demographics of this vs. 2020 will be interesting for sure

Fuck you Manchin and Sinema for torpedoing the Democratic party

I’m not surprised. It was all about the schools and that got the parents out to the polls. Like republicans said, this will be the playbook for winning back the house and senate come 2022. Say hello to leader Mitch McConnell, and say goodbye to the democrats agenda, it was nice while it lasted. God forbid a supreme court justice needs replacing during the next few years.

I have a feeling that a republican win in Virginia will give Joe Manchin justification to double down on delaying and then fatally derailing Joe Biden’s hopes. No family leave for you America. No hearing aid for you grandpa. No Pre-K for you middle class Mother. And be careful dad on your drive to work, the bridge is out.

The Republicans run on racism to their ignorant and racist base. The Democratic don't counter well because they can't believe people are so dumb and horrible. But they are

VA sweep top 3 offices. 1st black woman to ever be elected in a statewide election. At least 3 VA House seats now Republican. Thank you Loundes County.

I don’t think they had anything to do with this race.

GOP just can’t help themselves when it comes to electing millionaires doing the bidding of billionaires who want to capture the state.

I have DC friends who still work at Carlyle Group. I’ll just say this—Youngkin isn’t an idiot, and most people who know him like him. He’s doesn’t fit the mold of a Trump-humper—not by a long shot. But he knows how to play the game.

Ps to my thoughts…
When you stand back and take a look, things are going to pot. Gas prices are up, grocery prices are up, shelves are bare in the stores, Americans are still trapped in Afghanistan, democrats in congress are in disarray, people are resisting vaccines and losing their jobs for it, then we have the abortion fights on top of it all. A perfect storm for republicans to flourish, and Trump to return. Let’s face it, republicans are just better at running for office, terrible at governing but better at getting elected.

And on top of all that, chewy has been out of my dog food for two months. Probably sitting in some warehouse waiting on a semi truck driver. Snowball is not a happy puppy.

i hope thats true and he's really a moderate repub?

Not only the first Black female Lt Gov but also the first ever VA Latino Atty General. The party of inclusion for all wins and shows what it stands for.

Trying to erase recent history too, it seems.

I hate to admit it but I felt that Youngkin was a likable guy. I’d rather have a drink and chat with Youngkin than McAuliffe, politics aside.

Running on the propaganda that it's racist and divisive to teach kids that race doesn't exist tells me the answer to that question is no.

IDK, every race feels national these days and this really looks like a referendum on Biden.

Moderate and Republican in the same sentence together is hilarious.

Propaganda works people. And Republicans are great at Propaganda. Dems need to wake up. Americans will not figure it out when they are fed lies and misinformation night after night.

The 2020 election did that.
Some people celebrated, I saw only despair in its outcome. A powerless President.

My ongoing complaint about the Dems is that they always make the dumbest most naive responses to GOP propaganda and thus lose control of the narrative. IMO it's because they keep foolishly expecting Republicans to act in good faith.
Meanwhile, the Republicans win a governorship entirely on the promise that kids in white suburbia won't have to find out that grandma approved of throwing rocks at Ruby Bridges.

I saw it as avoiding Equatorial Guinea's fate.

Agreed. The Dems are naive as fuck. They keep having too much faith in humanity. They gotta understand it's time to take the gloves off and realize that the majority of the Trump base are deplorables. Talk tough and explain to the independents that CRT scare is bullshit. It's like McCarthyism. It's lies, They just don't want to teach about history, etc.. It's not rocket science but they are too polite.
