<@&414591366945832962> Hopefully going to get some data out within the next few days

Roger.

Does Virginia even have a chance at going red?

Possibly, we have a large tea party and libertarian population in the more rural areas. in fact if you go out into certain counties you see sign boards with tea party advertisements and propaganda. kinda like the stuff you see in northern Ireland but with conservative/Libertarian stuff.
Plus we lot of historic site and such from the civil war and the Revolution. Virginia is a split between red and blue. it's a large urban areas that are densely blue that make for a blue state when it comes to elections

I kinda want to turn it red again

Then why couldn't they actually be bothered to vote last year?

millennials

eh?

a good amount of millennials tend to not vote

Then complain when a republican gets elected

millennials vote democrat

And they did vote in 2017

which is why Virginia is run by a Democrat

Don't remind me

Virginia 2017 was an underwhelming mess

Like the South West (Republican stronghold) had just 43% turnout

Gillespie actually improved on 2013

Both on % and raw vote numbers in the South West

That is true, but it's because of what said "Republican Stronghold"

If Cuccinelli had got those numbers in SWVA he would have easily won

^^^

Do you think Corey stewart would have won?

Really not sure. I didn't pay to much attention to politics last year. I've only more recently been getting in to it. I'm a year late when it comes to my state tho <:jeb:422443179887820810>

I tried hard to promote it on reddit

but obviously not enough

Which Subreddit?

R/T_D

I posted like 2 dozen threads promoting Gillespie

What does R/T_D

The Donald

Mean?

Ah

Okay

I like to think I had some impact

One district was an actual draw

Hmm 🤔
Could be

Maybe someone gave $5 which helped flip it?

Who knows?

I blame Drew Miller

lol yeah

A libertarian actually stood in said district that drew

675 votes

Really?

Yep

That's kinda rare

Virginia House of Delegates, District 94 General Election, 2017
Party Candidate Vote % Votes
Democratic Shelly Simonds 48.59% 11,608
Republican Green check mark transparent.png David Yancey Incumbent 48.59% 11,608
Libertarian Michael Bartley 2.83% 675
Total Votes (Race decided by random drawing) 23,891

We could have lost the VA House of Delegates on a draw

that's really intriguing

🤔 🤔 🤔

Lucky we kept it then

<@&414591366945832962> so rather than focusing on Important stuff, What do my Virginia dudes think of this new purposed flag design to replace the great seal of Virginia as the state flag

7 pointed star represents the 7 US presidents that were born in Virginia

Eh.

Better than slapping the seal on a blue background.

^^^

Virginia's current flag is an SOB. "Seal on a bedsheet" as it's know in vexillology

I'm pretty sure VA has had 8 Presidents including WIlson...

Nope, seven

If it was indeed 8, I can change it

Here's an alternate version.
the I represents VA being the first colony
The crown is because VA was named after the Queen
and The blue X represents the southern states (reminiscent of the confederate flag)

Fucking Leesburg. My dad grew up there

<@&414591366945832962> Anyone got ideas for attacking Tim Kaine?

ok

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 Is that 2016 or 2017?

'17

This makes me cry

<:wojaktrump:422438927631384577>

God dammit.

Is Corey Stewart still our guy for Senate?

@Mowglaneous yeah

but if Freitas wins, we'll still support him

currently Stewart is at a pretty huge lead over Freitas though, assuming polls are anywhere near accurate

but it's an uphill battle against Tim Kaine

Thanks. I was for Stewart in the gubernatorial.

Say it with me

Senator Jared Taylor

Huh? What happened?

Nah. Jared can’t win, no matter how smart he is.
