WASHINGTON, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Almost a year after President Joe Biden trounced Donald Trump in Virginia, the state's unexpectedly tight race for governor has alarmed Democrats and left Republicans hopeful they can win back crucial suburban voters https://www.reuters.com/world/us/culture-war-education-rages-virginia-governors-race-2021-07-22 who left the party during Trump's tumultuous presidency.
With early voting under way, the non-partisan Cook Report has labeled the Nov. 2 contest between Democrat Terry McAuliffe, a former Virginia governor, and Republican businessman Glenn Youngkin, a toss-up. A poll last week by the University of Mary Washington gave Youngkin an advantage with likely voters.
That is a surprising show of strength for the Republican in a Southern state that has trended Democratic in recent years. Trump lost by 10 percentage points in November, double his margin of defeat in 2016 in large part because his scorched-earth politics repelled moderate, suburban and female voters.


ruh row....

But we are still using the Dominion voting systems so it probably wont matter

Dominion? Do you believe they are corrupt after they sued right-wing sites for lying about them? I know nobody who is on the Dominion bandwagon of hate. They know better.

Exactly.
Of course it was foolish to run McAuliff again. He was not successful in his first term and the GA has made a lot of enemies.
We are due a large pendulum swing if its possible to have a non-rigged election.
