Well this made my day. Woke up wondering if we’d cinch it or get a 3am surprise.

I think one of the things to take away from this is that if all the conservatives saying your vote doesn't matter had showed up to the polls the wins here would have been larger and maybe another seat or two might have flipped.
That's good news if the wins that did occur can get the rest of conservative America off their asses and out of that defeatist mindset. |

Quoted: Or could be in the oven thanks to actually being watched by Republicans. If anyone is to be thanked in all this it is the volunteers that are watching the polls. It makes you wonder if we ever really were blue/ purple doesn’t it? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Once their media all called it for our side, that pretty Much seals the deal. No surprises will come. They waited until they got word no surprises were in the oven. Democrats stood down in the face of heavy scrutiny and bad optics. Or could be in the oven thanks to actually being watched by Republicans. If anyone is to be thanked in all this it is the volunteers that are watching the polls. It makes you wonder if we ever really were blue/ purple doesn’t it? It’s really tough to say. It will be interesting to see turn out numbers. To me It looks like turnout for the R’s was up due to the school mandates, crt, etc and turnout was down for the D’s. Tough to say who is in the majority/minority there |

Did someone post a Pic of the Lt Gov holding an AR?
I can't seem to find that pic. With her and the NC Lt Gov as conservative black gun supporters I hope black people are taking notice that libs do not give a shit about them, except for every 4 yrs. |

A more normalized Virginia, if we can keep it. A sincere thanks to everyone that made this happen - the voters that stuck it out, the door knockers, the poll watchers, the meme warriors, the sign planters, the angry fathers. Well done. |

Quoted: Election has always been about turnout. Pretty much as soon as McAuliffe and Youngkin decided they had zero interest in actually campaigning, it became a turnout election. Not even a legit third party candidate. Best the VA GOP can hope for is maybe one of sides of the legislature. But McAullife has this election in the bag by an easy 8 points. Youngkin's campaign was simply too lazy to put in the effort. Also, Virginia has been blue for over 15 years .... View Quote @DeathMetalMedic how does it feel to be a loser? Are you crying into your Terry McAwful body pillow and crying Russian collusion? |

A 4 year break... Whew!
We small government types didn't win here, the progressives showed their stripes, and the middle rebelled. We'll take it though for sure. If Sears works out as Lt., we could have an 8 year reprieve. I'd also like to point out that some anti gun laws were passed in the last 4 years. However, the big one failed, and failed because of a few blue dogs. |

Youngkin won the latino vote by 10% Listening to Miyares now, man oh man does he sound like an ass kicker. Already sent a shot across the bow of all the NOVA liberal commonwealth attorneys who let child rapists off - he will come in and prosecute instead.

Never thought I'd live to see the day when patriots can rise up and retake what was thought to be a deep blue state. VA has shown that the impossible CAN be done when they ignore the doomers and press ahead with true belief. Congrats!!!

I counted 3 seats that were won by Democrats by only 200-300 votes and 2 Republican seats that were won by about the same. Hopefully it will make Democrats lawmakers think carefully of their decisionz

There will be no turning back recent gun control laws and certainly no new “pro-gun” legislation. Next chance to take the Senate will be 2023. But we’ll keep working at it. |

Great win, but I will be a debbie downer and say that it is sad that our great state could only manage a 2% win and a tie in the HOD with the shittiest president in history, coupled with a GOP who ran a great campaign and a democrat who ran one of the shittiest campaigns ever add in a locality concealing 2 rapes because the rapist was a tranny. God damn our state has fallen.
Now we need to get to work and take 2 Senate seats back next time. |

In reporting on the Republican sweep of the three statewide races in Virginia on Tuesday night, the national media did note the winning candidates would become the first black female lieutenant governor and first Cuban-American attorney general in state history.
Little mentioned was Lt. Gov.-elect Winsome Sears and Attorney General-elect Jason Miyares are both swashbuckling conservatives who campaigned unabashedly on conservative themes. Sears, 57, is a former state legislator, U.S. Marine, and past director of a homeless shelter. A native of Jamaica and naturalized U.S. citizen, she is a strong opponent of abortion and advocate of the right to keep and bear arms. Last year, Sears was national chairperson of Black Americans to Re-Elect President Trump and, on the campaign trail, she spoke proudly of her admiration of the former president. With near-final results in, Sears edged Democrat State Delegate Haya Analya by about 51.43 to 48.57%. https://www.newsmax.com/politics/virginia-winsome-sears-jason-miyares-glenn-youngkin/2021/11/02/id/1043057/ State Delegate Miyares, who unseated Democratic Attorney General Mark Herring by a slim margin (50.81 to 49.19%), ran as a strong law and order candidate. He vowed "to keep our communities safe and secure" and vowed to oppose increasing any gun control in the Old Dominion. Miyares, 45, is also strongly pro-life and voted against expanding Medicaid in the legislature. Both Sears and Miyares are immediately being discussed as potential candidates for either the U.S. Senate or the governorship in 2025 (when GOP Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin must by law step down after one term). |

Soooo am I the only one thats waiting for additional boxes of uncounted mail in ballots 110% dem to be discovered just before the election is to be certified? A last second recount? A Hawaiian judge injunction on the results?
I'm super happy for VA but I just don't feel like the win is a full win just yet. Never trust dems. |
