Tony, Pretty Much

I hope Virginians turn out in huge numbers for the state legislative elections on November 7. If the GOP in VA flips the state Senate, that would give Glenn Youngkin a GOP trifecta and he would undoubtedly start implementing a right-wing agenda. The off-year VA elections are considered a bellweather for 2024. It would be great if they could pull off a blue wave like they did in 2019 which would further signal momentum going into 2024.

@TonyStark It's possible I won't be voting for anybody for school board or sheriff in Spotsy Co.

@TonyStark already done my part in Henrico County! Love the ability to automatically get absentee ballots for every election

@szeis4cookie @TonyStark
I’m not from Virginia, but I would not be surprised if those automatic absentee ballots ended statewide if the GOP gets that trifecta.

The GOP modus operandi seems to be:
1) make it hard to vote
2) gerrymander the snot out of the state
3) appoint judges that will keep them in power

@Kimsails @TonyStark 100% agree, all I can do now is hope that doesn't happen

@TonyStark And this year we have an even better chance at a massive majority.

Due to fair districting...it's predicted there will almost 40% turnover in both chambers.

Many incumbents were forced to run against each others (no 'safe' districts for either side) and chose to retire.
