Virginia is impossible to steal. No mail in ballots other than absentee and those are rigorously checked. Got to show a photo ID when you vote. What this election was is proof that 2020 was stolen. It shows that if Poopypants Biden had gotten the incredible number of votes they say he did he would have coattails up the yin-yang 9 months later. This election would have been a shoe-in for any Democrat. But it was not because Poopypants Biden didn't get all those votes in 2020. There are no masses of people that love the crap out of him. This election was actually on the coattails of Donald Trump who actually won 2020. McAuliffe is getting shellacked. Right now with 70% of the vote in is 55% 44 %. That's a landslide. This is just mirroring how Trump actually won. There's no way around it. Just look at the fact that there were 27 up in the air races in Congress and 2020 in the Republicans won every single one of them because of Donald Trump. The huge false win of Poopypants Biden couldn't drag anybody along with him because it wasn't real. Obviously. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

This is one of the most idiotic things that I have read today. For one Virginia is one of the few former Confederate States that got less restrictive voting reform since the 2020 election (most that changed laws made it stricter). " Alone among the states of the former Confederacy, Virginia has become a voting rights bastion, increasingly encouraging its citizens — especially people of color — to exercise their democratic rights. In the last 14 months, the state’s Democratic-controlled General Assembly and Mr. Northam have together repealed the state’s voter ID law, enacted 45 days of no-excuse absentee voting, made Election Day a state holiday and enacted automatic voter registration for anyone who receives a Virginia driver’s license. " https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/02/us/politics/virginia-voting-rights-northam.html The rest of what you said is equally absurd, but this should dispel any notion that loosening "election security" will benefit Democrats. Though I am pretty sure you are just trolling at this point. |

In Virginia. Not in Georgia not in Arizona not in Nevada not in Michigan not a bunch of other places. He lost because it was stolen. I live in the world of logic and realism. When ridiculous things happen I just don't accept it out of hand. Trump was 1.8 points in the presidential favorability poll behind where Barry Obama was in 2012. And Trump lost by a landslide? If he had been at 38% yeah. Incumbent presidents who were at 46% at RCP don't lose elections let alone in landslides. And to a guy who had no campaign and spent most of the summer in his basement? Yeah, right. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | Here we go again. It's 9 p.m. The race was called for Youngkin. Yet none of the networks including Fox has called it yet. Congratulations are pouring in from all over the country recording from Donald Trump, but all the networks act like none of it is happening. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Well, the loss has me wondering how the squabbling in congress will progress starting tomorrow. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

Unfortunately, the squabbling will continue here. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

I have been hearing for a week that if mcauliff losses in Virginia the Democrats in Washington are going to fall apart. Even more than they have been. They're going to realize if this is the mood of the country now, what's going to be the country's mood if they pass the trillion-dollar boondoggle bill and cause even more inflation. Joe Manchin said today he wants a breakdown of how this bill it's going to affect the economy before he decides to do anything. Anybody in their right mind would want that, why is he the only one asking. Because all anyone in Congress wants is to get rich off this bill and they couldn't care less about us. The Virginia election is going to change that because now they know we are paying attention to what they're doing and we will vote accordingly. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
