Virginia Elections 2021 - Nobody Knows Nothing [Blaster]

Predicting is hard, especially about the future. This election is even harder, because all of the models are broken. Who is a likely voter? What do the new rules that don't require ID to vote mean? How does running against a guy who is not even in office anywhere or running anywhere work?

A little about me - if you know me you know that I am a cynic. And perhaps a tad pessimistic - I miss Monty's DOOM threads (Narrator: We are still BONED.) But I live in the deep blue heart of Northern Virginia, and have for 23 years (almost my whole 29 years!). I am not involved in politics or the government or a government contractor. I don't have any special insider knowledge. And, like the headline says, Nobody Knows Nothing. I will put what I think out there first - we will know fairly soon: the gubernatorial race will be close enough that it won't be called as soon as the polls close. Youngkin will be ahead early. But I think McAuliffe will win by a couple of points when it's all over. In the House of Delegates, the current 55D/45R split will not change - maybe 1 seat either way.

I consider the 2017 election in Virginia the last "honest" election in the Commonwealth. Gov Coonman McKlanhood (nee Northam) was elected over Ed Gillespie, and he won 54% - 45%. About 2.6M votes were cast in that election (190k early). Then there was 2020 - and there was lots of hinkiness. Trump was never going to win Virignia. The final there was 54%-44% Biden with some 4.3M votes cast, and roughly 2/3 of those were absentee. Virginia is like the opposite of Wisconsin - Trump lost at what he should have lost at - but a lot of "found" votes decided a couple of Congressional districts that flipped from R to D, most notoriously a USB stick that someone mislabeled and had 83000 votes for one candidate.

With these comps, there is really no way to model 2021. It is a COVID year, but not as COVID-y as last year. As of today (10/2 some 840k early votes have been cast - there are 3 more days of early voting. We won't know until it is over what turnout is going to actually be - we can be very confident that it will be less than 2020. But how will it compare to 2017? I would guess it won't be that far off - maybe as many as 3M votes. That means that a quarter of the votes have already been cast. All from a period in which McAuliffe is leading Youngkin in the polls.

What has made the news about Virginia, and has helped Youngkin, is the Loudoun County School Board and McAuliffe's fealty to the education establishment. In any other year, the lead on education for a Democrat promising money for schools and teachers is usally huge. In this year, McAuliffe's position specifically against parental involvement in education has hurt him - so he only leads Youngkin slightly on that topic. Recent polling (yes they all suck) shows that Virginia Democrats support the position of School Board supremacy over parents at 70%. And they outnumber Republicans. Independents oppose it at 50% but they only support it at 20something%.

Loudoun County is not just a DC suburb full of government workers and contractors. A lot of the people who live there are tech people, and they bring tech values with them. They have money, and either no kids or their kids are in private school. They are perfectly happy having the school board impose their radical agenda on YOUR kids. The normies there are making themselves heard, but they are still a minority.

As to the candidates, we all know Terry McAuliffe as "Hillary Clinton's bagman." He's not really a politician, he's a fundraiser. He had never held elective office before running for governor of Virginia. And he's not an incumbent because the Virginia Constitution does not allow a governor to succeed himself. You can't be re-elected, but you can get elected again. As a retail politician, he's not good because he hasn't had to be. He raises money. In 2013, he just barely eked out a win over Cuccinelli. Money certainly played a big part. There are lots of reasons for his win, but none of them were "McAuliffe was just an awesome candidate."

Glenn Youngkin is in his first campaign for elective office, too. He's a billionaire, and is committing his own money to the race. This no doubt plays a part in his current polling success. He was CEO of the Carlyle Group and for the most part is a Bushie. Trump endorsed him, but he hardly will speak Trump's name. It's a needle to thread in Virginia. He is not, at least, Never Trump. Before the parental involvement gaffe at a debate, Youngkin's big push was a middle class tax cut for Virginians. I mean, sure, we would all like lower taxes, but it seemed very cookie cutter GOPe from the mid-90s. In the comments I have said that Youngkin has been more lucky than good, and that since he can't flip heads every day until the election, I hope he has some good people working for him. The good news is that in his advertising and comms, he does have good people working for him. They are scoring points.

So, like I said, nobody knows nothing. I think McAuliffe will win narrowly, but I hope I know nothing. We shall see probably Wednesday morning. No matter the outcome, it is 100% certain that the results will be over-analyzed and overplayed. A McAuliffe victory will be played as the end of Trump and Trumpism. A Youngkin win will be seen as a rejection of Biden, and then the GOPe will nationally go to war with school boards.

16 Well, Doug Wilder is not a fan of McAwful as the clip in the sidebar shows ,so maybe that will tamp down the turn out for McAwful, and I do like Youngkin's choice for Lt Governor who basically says she left the Dem party because they expect all blacks to think and act alike.

I think there's a certain contingent of voters, very much without dangling parts, that will decide this election. Youngkin by five.

32 I fled Fairfax Co., Virginia in September, 1985, when I was paroled (i.e., went to college), and it was red and I hated it then too. Maybe FFx wasn't very red, but the state was. I'd go back to visit/stay with family but there was nothing about it worth staying for, overdevelopment was rampant, traffic was getting abysmal, and the weather generally sucked except a few times a year (I do miss booming thunderstorms and snow, but not heat, humidity, cold rain, or gnats). It was nice that D.C. grandfathered those who were already of age for beer and wine when it raised the drinking age for those from 18 to 21 in 1986-ish. Also, the public school system -- when I was there -- was actually outstanding. But..., I'd rather have grown up in L.A. like my cousins.

Not unreasonable in normal times but why did they pretend a bunch of young Democrat staffers were white supremacists supporting Youngkin days before the election?

Does that sound like a candidate confident of winning in a state they should normally be winning in a walk to you? Cause it doesn't to me.

76 Thank you for the post. Interesting. Who knows. Our side thinks their side cheats. One thing I have never understood, is why someone from our side does not offer $10k, a reward, and say, come forward with proof, names, times, how ballots were created or harvested or whatever. We know that the antifa crowd are mostly meth heads, probably not having 2 pennies to rub together. Someone must have some good information, and they need some money.

Hope springeth eternal, but I don't see this big swing of AA's and Hispanics to Republicans. But I do think there will be incremental movement in that direction over time.

A lot of AA's are waking up to the Democrats generational big lies to them.
And while Hispanics are not "natural conservatives", a lot of them go to church (Catholic) and there are certain things that the Democrats champion that are repellant to them.

Of course it could be one of those things where McAwful gets small crowds and still wins ( like Biden) because of a cheat, but Youngkin does seem like he's really serious about winning

118 For those assuming VA Dems will cheat as much as they did a year ago, maybe more, there's one thing they can't do:

If Dem poll workers in Fairfax or Loudoun tell Rep poll workers "Hey, it's late: almost 10pm. Let's all go home, have dinner, get a good night's sleep, and start again at 8am!", it won't work. I'm pretty certain VA Reps have contingency plans to make sure that someone will be watching the front and back door of every vote-counting place all night long, to make sure no counting is done without Rep observers.

This is a war that will need to be fought anyway, so it might as well be fought now. School boards, and teachers, will never formally back any Republican. Because of this, there is no further cost in fighting them. Before, however, it would have been a worthless battle to have, because teachers, before COVID, were bulletproof.

Now, however, is a different story. Parents who were stuck seeing their kids not learn online did the simple math. Their kids finished their schoolwork in 2.5 hours, yet they are out of the house for 6. What is taught in the other 3.5? If not the Three R's, then CRT? 36 genders? This is the opening, and the GOPe will be stupid not to go through it.

As much as we focus on DC, the reality is that much of the fuckery that goes on is at the local level. The bums in DC got their start in school boards and city/county level positions. You can elect Trump to be President in Perpetuity and he can drain the swamp then salt it, but you will STILL have city, county, local and state governments making life hell for businesses to the point where THEY, and NOT the feds, are running businesses out of business or offshoring to (insert country here).
I hope VA does the right thing, even if Youngkin isn't especially conservative.

162 151 agree that McAuliffe will likely win, but due to cheating
Posted by: Occasional Commenter
I agree. But some years ago it was common to talk about six degrees of separation. If there was cheating, I would think some disgruntled husband, or jilted lover, or friend of a friend, or, or, would come forward and tell us how it was happening. I do not believe the occasional absentee ballot from a dead uncle gets Biden the election, or McAuliffe.
There must be some kind of system. *Ok, when you see this type of ballot, you trash it, and submit this ballot.* ??
Posted by: MikeM at October 30, 2021 07:29 PM (Wsq

Think 2016 Michigan recount that was quickly swept under the rug. Why? Because they started to go through Detroit boxes that were supposed to contain hundreds of ballots that most were for Clinton and they actually only contained less than a hundred ballots.

But it's always known who early voting favors which is why Democrats fight for it as hare as they can.

Historically, Democrats vote early and Republicans vote on election day. This isn't a secret.

I fully expect fraud games on Fairfax and other counties where they don't think anyones watching. It won't be enough.

I'm not lukewarm. I despise the Republican party just as much as I do the democrats. Maybe even moreso, because at least the Dems are trying to stick the knife in my chest rather than my back.

The Republicans did nothing to stop the COVID voting rules changes that handed the presidency to Joe Biden. They did nothing, with few exceptions, to question the 2020 election. They're not standing up for the 500 political prisoners being held on trespassing charges. They don't want to win, they don't want to govern. So obviously they don't want my vote.

246 JFK quote:
"There is a connection, hard to explain logically but easy to feel, between achievement in public life and progress in the arts. The age of Pericles was also the age of Phidias. The age of Lorenzo de Medici was also the age of Leonardo da Vinci, the age of Elizabeth also the age of Shakespeare, and the new frontier for which I campaign in public life, can also be a new frontier for American art."

Posted by: Tofer732 at October 30, 2021 07:21 PM (GcxM3)

Yes, but the issue is state electoral colleges, not allocation of national EC votes. It's a completely different issue Any statewide electoral college for races such as governor would run into the same problem that occurred with state Senate apportionments, namely the "one man, one vote" rule imposed by SCOTUS.

I'll say this on Fauci and Trump. Fauci was just one voice for Trump. He had many other medical professionals up there talking too. Fauci is a creation of Fauci and the media. He promoted himself to the media, just see his emails. And I think the media really focused on him because he wasn't a Trump appointment. Why listen to the surgeon general? They were appointed by the bad orange man. But Fauci is a good little deep state staple. And that's why this mengele with an ego is everywhere.

So basically he'll be a white and less house sized Stacy Abrhams, and questioning that election will not be conspiracy thinking.

285 Hoping for the right outcome in our local races, but not optimistic. Friend of ours is running for mayor of a neighboring city, and his (dem) opponent is a woman whose husband spent a few years in fed prison for selling crack, and she threatened one of the candidates for city council that her husband would "handle her". Nice. But I'm sure she'll win in a landslide.

286 I was part of the Greater Reston Republican Club until I left VA in 2011.

By knocking on doors and pounding signs in we got a good candidate to 40% in deep blue Reston.
I watched the polls or handed out literature. I gave as good as I got from the thugs that harassed me.

However, the GOP as a party that wants to win stinks more than Biden's diaper.

You need a complete effort, with a ground game and lawyers at the ready. Since 2016, that have been missing in VA. The tell -- not running a candidate in every election.

Of course you were being sarcastic. But it seemed like a post that deserved an honest answer. Rare thing these days, honest answers.... You're right in that if the reaction to the crisis hadn't been so extreme, things would be better. But once things started so did the power grab, and the associated desire to use Wuhan Flu as the counter to what would've been Trump's walk-around-the-bases home run in November. The Republic was done wrong thrice, once in the lockdown, once with the over-hyped death of a career screwup, and once on election day.

294 When I moved to Kansas in 2011, the feeling was different.

By going to Republican meetings, I avoided being nominated for offices before I was ready (missed running for the Board of Regents by this much).

We did win local offices, holding majorities in the city and county commission at different time. But never the school board. That may be changing this year.

Since 2016, the feeling has changed. I am the last of our group to be in a local office. The spirit has gone out of the door knockers, with a few exceptions.
