Excellent news about Wren Williams. Read about Poindexter, what AH RINO.

Incredibly good news to wake up to!

This news is awesome and most encouraging going forward. Now Va, go kick some ass and turn things around for the better.

Virginia Republicans need to remain wary. There could be mail-in ballots counted as late as Friday. Got to be sure they were postmarked on or before 2 Nov and that they are valid! A swarm of fake mail-in ballots is one of the effective ways to cheat.

Interesting. Not that I normally have much good to say about Colorado politics these days, but at least here mailed ballots must be received for counting by the time the polls close. If not, they are disregarded.

Damn! This has been a great day! I guess running a hate campaign based on race and anti-Trump was huge mistake. Now to turn over the ridiculous gun laws the dems put in during Northam's reign.

I have a female cousin in Charlottesville, Virgingia about my age who is somewhere to the left of Teddy Kennedy (but probably not as far as AOC). Her lawyer daughter is almost as Liberal. I'm sure they are both commiserating in Virginia right now, certain that the World will soon end. This cousin and I grew up almost as siblings (with several others) and I'm very fond of her, but we simply cannot ever engage in political discourse (she thinks I'm to the right of Genghis Khan). I considered sending her my condolences, but thought better of it. I am pleased that Virginians chose the better person(s).

I guess this is why we can’t have nice things. The thing about VA mail in ballots is that they can’t go magically print more up. The amount that are out are tracked and if they were 100 percent that there were more than the margin of victory, McAweful would not have conceded.

I guess it was a matter of time until we got the “stay vigilant” spiel, and it just had to happen.

Did the VA house of delegates and Senate turn Red as well?

Larry Sabato is a political analysis who is well known in the political media.

He is now fully exposed as a DEM political hack.

LarrySabato says, if GlennYoungkin wins, it'll be b/c of white power & accepting lies: "The operative word is...race. That is what matters...There's a lot of...white backlash, white resistance, whatever you want to call it...We live in a post-factual era

Maybe the Dems just ran out of smoke and mirrors.

Old Abe said it right. You can fool some of the people all the time and all of the people some of the time, but not all the people all of the time.

Well, he's a bit of a Wahoo , too, so there's that.

I'd like to see the donkeys continue their current trajectory of promoting CRT, imposing lockdown and mandate, demonizing parents of school children, defunding law enforcement, flooding the southern border, and jamming "wokism" down America's throat. Please, continue to do so through Nov 5th, 2024.

Just the House this time, Jimbo. The Senate comes up for elections in 2023 I believe. FWIW, I just walked the neighborhood a little; perhaps it's just me but most folks seemed to be more pleasant and upbeat than 48 hrs. ago.

VA senate was not in this election.

Nov 2023 will be the next VA senate election (40 seats w 4 yr term)

House of Delegates has 100 members w 2 year term (so they will be on the 2023 ballot also)

A little confusing about VA house of delegates. I beleive the situation is we have 50 of the 100, and there are 4 races still to be determined.

Salena: This election is more of an insider-outsider election than a liberal-conservative one. And in an insider-outsider election, the party in power tends to lose.

Tucker: Yeah, especially when the party in power is destroying the country.

Didn’t someone once say, “Never interrupt the enemy when he is making a mistake”?

If everything you mention is what it took to finally make a (slim) majority of the otherwise clueless electorate realize and understand what sorts of programs and people they’ve been voting for in the past, then I don’t want the Leftists to feel that cold wind blowing and wake up themselves.

Yeah, yeah; it was just an aberration, and nothing to worry about or to change your policies over. Keep on keeping on.

What’s REALLY awesome is this school board thing wasn’t just a National thing, it was a very local thing too:

My school district had several open school board seats and apparently conservative candidates SWEPT THEM ALL. The school board is now going to be 7/9 Conservative vs Liberal!

And it’s the same situation in several surrounding school districts according to a friend I spoke to today.

I LOVE IT! You Dems in VA sure screwed the pooch for yourselves but good.

^^^ I'm tellin' you, that (local elections) is where we develop the pool of people who can (and hopefully will) displace and replace the RINOs and the terminally useless who currently squat in all the major positions within the GOP.

We kept hearing about that, but McAwful has already conceded this morning.

Does anyone know exactly what the scoop on the mail-in ballots is?

w my standard caveat, "as best I understand it" :

To get an absentee ballot in Virginia you have to request it. So each county knows how many absentee ballots it sent out.

Ant it tracks the ones they receive and the ones that haven't bent sent back.

vpap.org says Fairfax county has 18,159 absentee ballots that haven't come back.
(just an example)

Perhaps they looked at how many ballots could come back by Friday, and they don't total enough to overcome Younkin's lead.

My county registrar says the mailed ballot must be received by 7pm on election day. Fairfax allows another 3 days.

Youngkin is articulate, intelligent, respectful of others, and conservative. And he is from Virginia.

McAuliffe is elitist (he didn't allow his kids to go to the VA public schools he talked so much about), entitled, tired, an inveterate liar, and well-known to Virginia as a scammer (google "McAuliffe and Electric Car Scam") and a former mediocre governor. He is a known Clintonista political hack and a carpetbagger, too. I'm surprised he got as many votes as he did, but there is still a lot of Trump hate out there (stoked by the MSM).

Sometimes it isn't about Trump, race or white supremacy, but about who is the better candidate. Youngkin and the candidates for Lt Gov and Atty Gen were the better candidates.

The GOP needs to find the best possible conservative candidates for 2022 and 2024.
