I think we should all take a hot bath and come back two hours later.

In other news, I voted for Curran for Nassau County Exec and Yes on Con-Con

First(?) report form the tidewater: Newport News at 24% turnout at 1pm.No idea with or without absentee, but probably without https://twitter.com/VotingGuy/status/928010256638251014

If previous cycles are any indicator turnout reports usually result in making people flip out more than they predict the actual results.

Won't the bath get cold by then?

Its over. Calling it now: rain has destroyed Northam in northern virginia, and also the competitive HOD races.  Gillespie wins by 2-3 points, and a very slight or none at all net gain for Democrats in the house.

If Gillespie wins and Democrats try to explain that 'it rained', that will rank among the worst political lows of all time.

Its not even raining that hard.

We all know Northam is probably going to win tonight. Let's stop panicking.

Even the rain is turning out for the GILL! Weak Democrats and globalists are afraid of the rain but real AMERICAN WORKERS will turn out and save the day!

If Americans are discouraged to vote just because of a little rain then that is really depressing. We call ourselves the greatest democracy in the world yet we can't vote because of rain. People in Eastern Europe even turnout for their elections.

Charlottesville 4pm turnout 12,102 voted Election Day + 1,302 absentee = 13,404 voted or 45.4% of active reg voters. Exceeds 12,508 voted for Gov in 2013



Henrico at 40% not sure from when (guessing 4 or 4:30?) unsure if that includes absentee or not
51% in 2013

The current thread name really nailed the attitude here.

I know, right? I was going to change it to something normal last night after the final set of polls, but I didn't and the community rose to the challenge.

For those freaking out about Tribbett's doom and gloom:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Which would be between 2 and 6 points, which is exactly what the polls said.

We know nothing.
But we should stop panicking anyway.

Nah, I think American turnout still is higher than Eastern European turnout. Even in Western Europe turnout for local elections is embarrassingly low (but turnout for general elections generally is higher than in the US as far as I know).

Anyway, I'm actually unironically rooting for Gillespie. He's a surprisingly good candidate and certainly preferable to people like Ward or Moore. We need more Gillespie's in the GOP (and it's not like he's a NeverTrumper so the alt-right can't complain ).

Well, I was going to vote to stop fascism, but I don't want to get mud on my birkenstocks. Guess I'll let fascism win instead. After all, isn't my Twitter activism more than enough?
