RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginians head to the polls Tuesday for the presidential primary in what some officials are expecting to be record numbers.

The state is one of a dozen Super Tuesday contests whose outcomes could go a long way in determining each party's eventual winner.
John Whitbeck, chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia, said GOP voters are fired up to get to the polls.

"The evidence is clear that we're looking at a record turnout in Virginia," he said.

The limited polling available in Virginia shows Donald Trump ahead in the Republican primary and Hillary Clinton leading in the Democratic race.

Susan Swecker, chairwoman of the Democratic Party of Virginia, said she expects turnout on the Democratic side to be "robust," but isn't sure whether it will be record setting. She noted that there are only two candidates running for the Democratic side, Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, compared with five GOP candidates.


Will update after I vote this am..

Democrats expect turn out to be "robust"  :silly:

A choice between Sanders and Clinton? Democrats must be sorely disappointed and depressed.

If the turn out ends up being robust, it will only be because some 'rats came to the polls wanting to vote for the Donald!
