It's just a few weeks out from Election Day, and early voting has already begun.
Where is the easy glide for Terry McAuliffe and continuance of the Democrat majority in the House of Delegates? They're locked into the wrong side of every hot issue, everything that would move a voter who can be moved.
Even with money advantage, the political environment is outright hostile.
- Education is the biggest state-level issue in the campaign, public safety is not far behind, and Democrats are locked in to the wrong side of both.
- In the House of Delegates, they now face 99 GOP candidates. They are having to funnel money into races that were not supposed to have a GOP candidate at all, and certainly not expected to be competitive.
- Cheating is going to be harder than it has ever been - the pool of false registrations from which to draw from, cut in half; voter precinct-level data coming out of key Central Absentee Precincts; thousands of GOP observers, trained and scheduled in the deep Democrat strongholds where they could formerly act at will; lawyers at the ready to enforce election rights.
Suddenly, out of nowhere it must have seemed, the GOP is serious about election integrity and not playing Democrat games or taking excuses. Even the RNC, against all expectations, stepped up with big money for election integrity.
If things weren't bad enough, the Biden administration has been an active rolling disaster, making this election in no small part a referendum on its unraveling of the nation. Merrick Garland calling for parents to be treated as domestic terrorists sure didn't help... and that's just what went wrong for Dems in the past week.
