As a certified oldster, I just love seeing those young voters. However, the length of the line suggests VOTER SUPPRESSION to me

Woolf has six children ranging in age from seven to 18. His oldest child just graduated from Battlefield High School last week, and his other five children are homeschooled. Woolf said he will protect parental rights in education. “I think that parents should be the center of their children’s lives,” Woolf said. “They need to be able to make the decisions that they think are best for their children.” hmmmm......creepy?

“The sentiment that it is not important to let everyone vote appeared to be at work yesterday in Mississippi, where at least nine precincts in Democratic-leaning Hinds County ran out of ballots. The most populous county in the state, Hinds County is 70% Black and includes the city of Jackson, which is almost 83% Black. Officials rushed to print more ballots, but the lines ballooned. After a judge tried to remedy the situation by extending the voting hours in the county by an hour, the Republican Party of Mississippi fought that order.

Republican governor Tate Reeves won reelection.”

Poor Glenn, drowning in diversity with trans people, black people, poonannies. He probably hit the 12 year old scotch last night. It’s the only way he can Glenn-livet down.

“Hands off my poonanny, republicans!” As good a winning slogan as any. Plus, there are really so many good reasons Republicans should stay away from your poonanny.

It's a great day in the Commonwealth! I am just giddy that Youngkin was shown the door to no where.

Does this mean that Youngkin is no longer the possible very-white knight who will take up the fallen Dixiepublican standard when Trump collapses into a lump of bile and convictions?

Obligatory: This is bad news for Biden.

i phone banked for both Russet Perry and Michael Feggans so i'm feeling my panic efforts were in some part helpful. Russet is so intriguing - glamourous ex-CIA.

(she's what i wanted to be when i grew up...)

And she’s both pretty and physically intimidating . Kinda cool all around.

Virginia has had a few of those CIA ladies in politics. It’s like what gas and oil is to Houston. I like calling it ‘intelligence.’

WARNING LONG TAKE:

With all the victories for democrats and near losses -- looking at you Mississippi and your running out of ballots for black districts -- I think that Virginia was the most "important" of the elections last night.

Remember, Glen Youngkin was supposed to be the last sane middle of the road moderate Republican. During the run up to his election as Governor, Youngkin was constantly getting positive coverage and tongue baths from Local, State, and National Mainstream media portraying as a centrist, middle of the road kind of leader, and the democrats as the real "radicals, which helped to propel him into the governorship.

With his ability to speak coherently, having a normal human skin tone and the ability to display actual human emotion when he needs to, leading up to last night's elections, he was the "secret" Trump killer that would come off the bench, bring the Republicans back together, and lead them to glory. He received a metric shit ton of private, PAC, and Super PAC donations to win the elections for the Republicans. The National Media, not having met a Republican presidential candidate they didn't like, would be salivating at the chance to have to cover a Youngkin vs. Biden. Young Strong Vital Centrist Republican (hey it's in his name!) verses Old Decrepit Stuttering Socialist Democrat-- never mind the fact that Youngkin, from day one, has governed just like any extreme wacko corrupt Republican -- he can just put a smiling face on it.

Also, it didn't help that his central campaign platform was "if you give me even more power, I will just break your thumb, instead of your whole arm." He should seriously fire his campaign manager.

Ta, Evan. Apparently, Virginia is for Lovers of Democracy. Youngkin may help himself to a supersize bag of salted rat dicks.
