<@&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?
