Yeah, I read last week that McAuliffe had already hired a team of lawyers to fight it. He and Stacy Abrams should go out and get drunk with Al Gore.
I have been wondering if he is related to Leon. Probably not, but if anyone here would know, it would be maryjane.

Very pleased this morning, and pleasantly surprised.
I don't know if you heard, but McAuliffe called Biden late in the evening, and the staffers relayed that he declined the call. I truly believe that the Democrats pulled out all the stops and did things which, as usual, border on illegal but can be explained away... such as no longer requiring voter ID to vote... possibly many more on the side of illegal.
But I think the vote was so overwhelming that it "overcame" the built in fraud. I truly, truly believe this. Call me conspiratorial, I'm OK with it.
The above picture... that's the Virginia that I know and love from my childhood and my high school days. I lived in Richmond when I was a kid... and loved Richmond. I also went to high school in Northern Virginia. All my friends parents... well most of them for that matter, worked in D.C. and took the metro into the city. But we had kids who would go to school with a shotgun in their pickups. There were some kids who had BMWs, some who had Camaros and Firebirds, some who had metallic green Honda Del Sols, haha... and some, like me... which shared an 84 Toyota Corolla, or had no car at all. But gun rights were just a natural part of society. We didn't think anything of it in the mid 1990s. Kids had hunting rifles in their trucks, and no one batted an eye.
Today, that would lead to the school getting locked down. Have the laws changed? I don't know, I haven't voted in Virginia since 1995 when I helped elect President Clinton to his second term.

CNN states (through its "whitelash" reporter:
"This is the Delta Variant of Trumpism."
Personally, I couldn't be prouder.  lol
Our Children belong to the people, not the Government. We are not terrorists, we are parents, and you in the school boards answer to us, not the other way around.

Very disappointed. Magpul makes ALL FIVE of those parts in black (and they have much nicer stocks than that one).

It's interesting to see some of the words used in the headlines of these supposedly impartial news organizations today...

CALLED HIM FOR WHAT?
Did he think Grandpa Pants-load was somehow going to save him?[This message has been edited by randye (edited 11-03-2021).]

| quote | Over the last two decades, American politics has steadily polarized along urban and rural lines, with Democrats running up the score in well-educated metropolitan areas and Republicans making gains in the countryside.
For one night in Virginia, that trend did not continue.
In a departure from recent demographic trends, there weren’t really any notable demographic trends in Virginia at all.
Glenn Youngkin, the Republican candidate for governor, won by making broad gains over Democrats in every part of the state and, apparently, across every demographic group. He gained in the cities, the suburbs and rural areas. He gained in the east and west. He made inroads in precincts with both white and nonwhite voters.
It’s an unusually simple picture for such a noteworthy result. When a candidate outperforms expectations, it’s often accompanied by a big breakthrough among a particular demographic group; when a candidate disappoints, they still usually have a few bright spots. There were no bright spots for the Democratic candidate, Terry McAuliffe, but no breakthroughs for Mr. Youngkin, either. . . . |

No "breakthroughs" for Youngkin? I read it as if there were breakthroughs everywhere for Youngkin. So I'm not sure what Nate Cohn means by that.
It's a brief article--I just duplicated almost all of it--and Nate Cohn doesn't elaborate here on how he defines "gains over Democrats." He doesn't define his baseline. His baseline could be the vote counts on a county by county basis, party vs. party, from the November elections of 2016. But he doesn't say, exactly.
Who's Nate Cohn?
