Reality check: The Virginia Redistricting referendum victory will be by a narrow margin, and Republicans threw a lot of money at a misinformation campaign to try to pull out a win. We need to have every State Party working to the maximum effort to in in November.,
Post-mortem: Now that Virginia has approved a 10-1 Democratic Congressional map, Gov DeSantis (who apparently wants a gig in the Trump Administration) will be pressured to come up with an equal gerrymander in Florida. It won't be as easy.
YES takes the lead in the Virginia Redistricting referendum with results coming in from Fairfax County
DECISION DESK calls the Virginia Redistricting Referendum for "YES". NBC News characterizes the contest as "YeS leading" bsky.app/profile/deci...
Who's Adam Carlson?
And, apparently, the City of Richmond
NO leads in Virginia 51-49 with 71% reported.
So, it looks like the Virginia Referendum sinks or swims on the results from Fairfax County (20% reported).
Reporting on election results AFTER the polls are closed are meaningless except for political junkies. Whether the media reports correctly or not, the results will be the certified counts from each county.
Dave Wasserman (Cook Political) give his personal opinion when he thinks a race is finished. He doesn't say its over.
But the counter question is: "Did Spanberger and the Democratic Party do everything they could?"
Does anyone know if @kalshiofficial.bsky.social has a prediction market for "Trump says the Viriginia Referendum vote was rigged"?
Um, based on what? Current;y NO leads 53-47 with 59% reported.
Paging Linda McMahon.....
The better question is: what idiots think they can fairly bet in the prediction markets.
So the guy who thinks of himself as a “doctor” still hasn’t come up with a better health care plan after 9 years? www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...
Bear in mind, most religious supporters of Trump are evangelicals who think of the Pope as misguided art best or the antichrist at worst.
No. You don’t appreciate the international importance. People bought tix, plane fares, hotel rooms months ago. They’re coming
An old HS friend runs a mega church in Missouri. Wonder how he feels about this?
JD Vance CHOSE to convert to Catholicism, which means he CHOSE to accept the tenets of the Catholic Churxh, which means he CHOSE to accepted the leadership of the Pope.
How will he respond to Trump’s unhinged rant at the Pope yesterday?
I visited Hungary just before their first Democratic election in 1990. Time to pull out some of the political
posters I collected.
By then end of his first TERM? I remain unimpressed.
Viktor Orban concedes defeat after losing an election. What a novel strategy…
I’m in France this week. Gas is €2.13 a liter or (with the weakened dollar) $10 a gallon.
Despite end of the TSA crisis, there was an ICE agent (with gun) “helping” with baggage at the JFK Terminal 1 security checkpoint yesterday.
Key elements were: P&R lots at key subway stations (Aqueduct/willets Pt); Shuttle buses from key Nassau County LIRR stations (a major challenge finding buses to charter) and a ferry service from Glen Cove.
I spent a year working on a contingency plan for a possible LIRR strike during the Cuomo Administration. Must be in a filing cabinet somewhere…
From a more peaceful time: Iranian smugglers (goats and sheep in; appliances out) entering the strait of Hormuz from Oman.
