President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

That's a Wrap.

 

Turnout was huge in Virginia - McAulliffe had 500k more votes - a full third more - than when he won in 2013 and lost. Youngkin surpassed the previous high total for a GOP governor candidate by about 600k votes - and about 600k more voters cast their ballot this time around than four years ago. That's a FIFTH of the total vote.


Rigged.

 

Don Beyer is the car salesman, former LT Gov and current House member. Stephen Breyer is the SCOTUS justice who should have retired by now. Breyers is the ice cream he should consume upon retirement.

 

I'm not gonna lie -- it would be HILAROUS if there was some sort of nefarious vote scheme that comes out considering the wailing and screaming for the past year about from that side.

 

I've lived within a hour of the Virginia state line my whole life and lived in Virginia for about a year and a half a lifetime ago.
It boggles my mind. I've listened to the Youngkin ads for at least a month pandering to SWVa. Everything was "business man blah blah, political outsider blah blah."
Well, that's worked out so well with Cheeto Jesus nationally and Governor Short Bus in Tennessee, I guess Va. decided to give it a try.

 

Curious about the downballot races. It's easy to "rig" one race - but are you going to care about some small district rep in a small corner of the state? If the undervote between the gubantorial race and the cumulative total of the downballot races is more than 30 percent, you have to wonder.

 

Remember the argument from Republicans who won in regions Trump lost in: The ballots were fixed to defeat Trump but all the votes for me were OK. And that's how you end up believeing JFK Jr. is gonna jump onstage with the Stones.

EDIT: And haven't the canvasses and recounts found not only more votes for Biden, but more illegal votes cast for Trump?
