Poor Bramnick. He's a good man, but too close to Christie.

Bramnick will win despite the vicious gerrymander.

Kind of like how Democrats are on track to flip the VA HoD despite the vicious gerrymander there.

I love underdog stories!

How do you think the GOP won the VA House of Delegates in the first place in 2000 after decades out of power?

Ohhhh, I can't wait until Democrats gerrymander the living hell out of Virginia. Maybe they'll go on another 120-year run of complete control.

Nah. Nonpartisan redistricting will be very high on the new Democratic legislatures to-do list.

/sarcasm to trigger Krazen.

They could, sure. There is no VRA preclearance anymore. They did so for over a century before.

But I can think of ways to retaliate.

Complaining on a message board like you do with New Jersey?

Nah. Congress and Jeff Sessions can simply block Virginia from gerrymandering with legislation, among other things. We won the elections and have the keys of federal power.

Doesn't seem like your team knows how to use them.

You know what's interesting? It looks like Guadagno will take Somerset County, a county that went for Obama twice and Clinton last year. Along with this, she's outperformed Trump's performance.

So, really, I'm actually surprised this wasn't a harsher blow to her and the GOP.

There's still a hundred precincts outstanding, might change the result.

The gloves are going to come off soon once Mitch has packed the courts.

Are the white hoods going to come off too?
