Va. Dems file lawsuit against U.S. Postal Service over delivery delay of absentee ballots

Kerry Picket  |  October 25, 2021


The Democratic Party of Virginia has filed a lawsuit alleging that local branches of the U.S. Postal Service failed to process and deliver election-related material ahead of the gubernatorial election between Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin.

The lawsuit, filed Friday, contends that more than 300,000 Virginians are likely to attempt to cast their ballots by mail this cycle, but USPS did not deliver the requested ballots promptly and therefore is threatening to disenfranchise thousands of Virginia voters.

“Thousands of absentee ballots currently sit at postal facilities throughout the Commonwealth, unprocessed for weeks on end,” the lawsuit states.

The suit was filed on behalf of the state party by the Elias Law Group, a firm headed by longtime Democratic elections attorney Marc Elias  .  .  .

And just days after the failed Lincoln Project stunt at a Youngkin rally...there's another staged photo circulating this morning of an alleged supporter with a shiny new Rebel flag hastily placed on the back of a jeans jacket that looks like it was just bought at Walmart.

McAuliffe’s Final Pitch To Voters: There Are Too Many White Teachers In Virginia [WATCH]

Here is the case process, in case anyone is interested in paying for the service.  Last action was Friday.

The FOO
@PolitiBunny
Drove by our polling place on the way to get breakfast this morning (we voted early) - the parking lot was full, which was good to see, but the real shocker was the missing Democrat table. Usually the GOP and Dems each set up a table out front.
There was only the GOP. #vagov :)

3 “journalists” tweeted out images from behind of a random guy in a confederate jean jacket at a Glenn Youngkin rally who just happened to be standing right in front of the press box and not a single one of them talked to the guy and found out who he was. Journalism is dead.

Last Ditch Hoax Shows ‘Confederate Flag Wearing Man’ at Youngkin Rally – Then People Get a Closer Look at Him

Kyle Becker  |  November 2, 2021


The last ditch November surprise to paint Republican candidate for Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin as a white supremacist was launched at a political rally in Loudoun County on Monday night.

The Youngkin rally drew hundreds of raucous supporters and opponents of the radical agenda of former Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe.

Youngkin has experienced a surge in support in the closing weeks of the governor’s race and is now running in a dead heat with McAuliffe. The latest Fox News poll even showed McAuliffe trailing by eight points in a survey of likely voters.

But as MSNBC covered the Youngkin rally a suspiciously familiar tactic was deployed to slant the political candidate’s optics on the verge of election night. A photo of a man with a confederate jacket at the rally appears to have been first posted on Twitter by WUSA (CBS affiliate) reporter Mike Valerio at 10:22 pm.


https://twitter.com/MikevWUSA/status/1455359529542168577

Within two minutes, an MSNBC reporter named Gary Grumbach (a ‘usual suspect,’ see more later) had reposted it onto his Twitter account.  .  .  .

@Alicia_Smith19
Quick thread on VA results tonight:
First: How will results be reported? VA recently amended their law to allow pre-processing of mail in ballots ahead of E-day(verifying signatures etc) which allows for faster count, and is what FL/TX have been doing for years. As a result absentee/early votes (particularly in big suburban dem-leaning counties like Loudoun and Fairfax) will be reporter first from about 7pm-8pm.

 Expect McAuliffe to start out with big lead as a result (similar to how Biden started out ahead in FL in 2020). After about 8pm Election day votes will start to be counted. Absentee/early votes lean dem, and election day votes lean R, so Youngkin will start clawing his way up after 8pm or so.  Big counties like Loudoun say they will likely have all votes counted by around 9/9:30 or so. So pretty fast

Second: Which counties should you be watching for?
Ofc you’ve heard of Fairfax and Loudoun. And these are important (Fairfax is around 15% of total state vote). But there are others which are big counties and are more competitive: Va Beach, Chesapeake, Chesterfield come to mind

Youngkin won’t win Loudoun or Fairfax, but as @Redistrict has mentioned, if Youngkin can hang onto 34% or so on Fairfax and low 40s in Loudoun, he’s doing well. He also needs to probably flip Chesterfield, Va beach, and Chesapeake.

He's pretty clearly a plant.  Both the jeans jacket and the confederate flag patch are brand-spanking new.  Too new to be anything other than a fabrication for the purposes of planting this "gent" in the crowd.

The hat is too new, as well.  Look at that thing:  there isn't a single bit of sweat stain around where the headband would be.  It's as faux as the jacket and insignia are.

Dave Wasserman reports ‘potentially a weak turnout’ in 86% Biden Charlottesville, site of the Project Lincoln tiki torch stunt
Posted at 10:49 am on November 2, 2021 by Greg P.

The Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman tweeted an early warning to Virginia Dems that turnout in Charlottesville is behind that in 2017 signaling “potentially a weak turnout in an 86% Biden city”:

@Redistrict
Deleted an earlier tweet because the figures cited by the registrar below did not include 2k+ mail ballots. At this rate, Charlottesville would be on pace for ~15k votes, still down from 16.5k in 2017 and potentially a weak turnout in an 86% Biden city.

Perhaps, but I'd still prefer Youngkin won outright.

It Doesn’t Matter Who Wins In Virginia, Democrats Have Already Lost
Terry McAuliffe should be coasting to victory in Virginia. Instead, he’s revealed just how weak and out of touch Democrats are.
By John Daniel Davidson
November 2, 2021

President Joe Biden won Virginia a year ago by 10 points. In normal times, that would mean a governor’s race this year in the Old Dominion shouldn’t be close, especially not one that pits a relatively popular former Democratic governor, Terry McAuliffe, against a relatively milquetoast Republican like Glenn Youngkin.

Yet going into Election Day, the McAuliffe campaign is in freefall. A Fox News poll last week had Youngkin up by eight points, and the RealClearPolitics polling average has him up by nearly two. Against all odds, and with the media establishment doing all it can to support McAuliffe, it’s possible that Youngkin might just win.

That of course would be a stunning rebuke to Biden and the Democrats. But even if Youngkin doesn’t pull it off and McAuliffe ekes out a win, Democrats have already suffered a devastating blow in this campaign. They have effectively lost the contest of ideas at the heart of the McAuliffe-Youngkin race, and thereby exposed the frailty, impotence, and unpopularity of Biden and the Democrats’ entire leftist agenda.

How did McAuliffe manage this? By embracing and defending Democratic Party positions in the culture war that are increasingly out of step with ordinary Americans. ...

McAuliffe Falsely Claimed Youngkin Holding Event With Trump Night Before Election

LAUREL DUGGAN  |  November 02, 2021  |  11:07 AM ET


Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe claimed his Republican opponent, Glenn Youngkin, was campaigning with former President Donald Trump. “That was a lie,” Politico reported.

Reporters told McAuliffe Sunday that Trump was not in Virginia and Youngkin was not involved in Trump’s event. McAuliffe responded that it was “killing” Trump to not be in Virginia. “Trump is very unpopular here in the state, everybody knows it, and that’s probably why Youngkin doesn’t want him,” McAuliffe said.

“Guess how Glenn Youngkin is finishing his campaign?” McAuliffe asked a small crowd outside a brewery, according to Politico. “He is doing an event with Donald Trump here in Virginia.”

The claim is false, Politico said, reporting that former President Donald Trump held his own “tele-rally” Monday which Youngkin did not attend. Trump and Youngkin have not campaigned together at all, according to the Youngkin campaign.  .  .
