Virginia Democrats Pull out the 2020 Playbook

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.
