Virginia Democrats Pull out the 2020 Playbook
By Bonchie | Oct 25, 2021 8:30 AM ET

The race for the governor’s seat in Virginia comes to its conclusion next week, and Democrat Terry McAuliffe remains in a fierce battle with Republican Glenn Youngkin. Despite the fact that Virginia is solidly blue, largely due to the more recent leftward population shift in the northern portion of the state, Youngkin appears to actually have a chance at securing a ground-shaking victory.

That means the old playbook must be brought out. It started with unfounded claims of voter suppression marked by the entry of failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams into the mix. Yesterday, Barack Obama echoed the sentiment, claiming that Republicans are “systemically” preventing Americans from voting.

Then there’s the Post Office. You may recall that during the 2020 election, Democrats (including Joe Biden) made the federal mail system a target, claiming that they were purposely removing mailboxes to stop mail-in ballots from being delivered. That was, of course, a ridiculous lie backed by no evidence whatsoever.

But hey, why not do it again? The playbook remains the same and Virginia Democrats are suing USPS over claims of disenfranchisement.

Even considering what’s happened in Northern Virginia over the decades, unlike the California recall, this is a possible GOP pick up.

Fishrrman's prediction:
Youngkin has made a good showing, but he won't win.

The race is too close and the DCP has the advantage of VA now being an "deepening blue" state with The Party's underground election apparatus almost certainly up-and-running.

I would gladly be proven wrong on this one, but I don't see Virginia "comin' back to our side" again...

If the GOP isn't watching the vote counting VERY closely they don't want to win.

McAwful needs to win this by at least 5% (2.5% swing) for this to be even considered a solid win.

VA is nearly a solid blue state now. Anything less than a respectable margin is scary for the Dems.

It isn't gone yet.  The House of Delegates was heavily Republican until Trump.  Control may swing back this time, along with a couple of statewide races.
