Trumplicans seem to overperform in Virginia.

Hillary was leading in states where voter suppression by the hundreds of thousands stole the election for the traitor.
lets hope these people are allowed to vote

It's nice to have heartening polling.
Virginia Democrats, our thoughts and prayers are with you! Teach the Republicans that common decency means something!

(7,153 posts)11. I still predict a recount
Look at the statewide races in 2013 and 2014.
Comfortable D leads in the polls were cut sharply in the actual voting.
Right now, RCP's 6-poll average shows 45.8 for Northam and 43.0 for Gillespie.
That puts the race into jeopardy, as historically there's the "invisible" 5% surge for the repugs in the voting.
So- GO VOTE.
