Shades of 2016 election night with lots of good fun watching the MSM melt down with the reality of what was happening. New Jersey? A real sleeper either way it goes.. Here are some of the highlights.
Why would Joy Reid be Rachael Maddow’s partner in covering the election? She added to the nightmare of the Dems test of reality. This morning? Surfing around the spin is that Trump lost! Enjoy!
Bonus time! Enjoy.
Just like that!
The very best if the swamp.
McAuliffe takes the low road and pulls out an attack ad over the top. Not enough? No doubt their internal polls reveal trouble with the Black vote and disinterest in the election. Pull out the race card. Keep digging.
By 2 November, the gubernatorial election day, McAuliffe will have stood on stage three times with Georgia’s Stacey Abrams – the top architect of turnout strategy for minority voters.
Abrams’s plan is direct: bring enough Black voters to the polls and they will support Democrats to victory over 90% of the time.
But many party regulars knocking on doors to boost turnout are noting fatigue.
After a bruising campaign that focused on the Black electorate in the presidential race run against the backdrop of a global pandemic which disproportionately affected them, many Black voters are weary.
Wait a minute. Didn’t he just say the other day (maybe yesterday) that VA had the best education system in the country?
Ahead of Tuesday’s election, Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe has promised to increase the amount of nonwhite teachers in the state in order to “diversify” its educational system.
McAuliffe attended a campaign event in Manassas on Sunday to rally support against his opponent, Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin. The Virginia Democrat lamented that while 50% of Virginia students are racial minorities, roughly 80% of Virginia teachers are white. McAuliffe also offered a plan to change that, according to Fox News .
“If you go teach in Virginia for five years in a high-demand area — that could be geographic, it could be course work — we will pay room, board, tuition, any college, any university, or any HBCU here in Virginia,” McAuliffe said during the rally.
ActBlue, the organization that helps Democrat candidates and progressive groups raise money from individual Americans, released an appalling 30-second ad, with the theme of “This is Glenn Youngkin’s Virginia,” claiming “If Glenn Youngkin is elected no one is safe!”
Yes, no one!
The abhorrent attacks on the businessman were not received well by political consultants.
Meanwhile Youngkin takes the high road.

We can only hope.
Kamala Harris warns McAuliffe loss could doom Dems in 2022, 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday warned that a win by Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin in Virginia’s gubernatorial election could doom Democrats in the 2022 congressional midterms and even the 2024 general election.
Harris gave the frank analysis, which is likely to be cited often by Republicans if Youngkin does win, while campaigning for Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe in Norfolk, Va.
“What happens in Virginia will in large part determine what happens in 2022, 2024 and on,” Harris said during a 16-minute stump speech.
“You gonna bring this home, right? Yes you are,” Harris told the crowd, warning them that “Tuesday is a critical day that will determine whether we either turn back the clock or move it forward.”

Don’t forget the New Jersey race for Governor, It is a sleeper. There was one poll that had the GOP ahead but I never saw it again. Then there are several special House seats. One that could be flipped for sure.
This is the best of the swamp. Looking for a fun night.
Here is a story that should be considered “Breaking News” it is so outrageous. If we are going to have third world style elections, then let’s acknowledge it. Where is the GOP?
Here is looking at you!
More than 1,000 people in eight Virginia counties illegally registered to vote, report finds is the headline. Here tis:
Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe vetoed a bill that would require investigations of jurisdictions in the state whose voter rolls contain more registered voters than citizens who are eligible to vote.
“As PILF previously reported, these eight problematic jurisdictions had more than 1,000 alien voters removed from the rolls in years past with roughly 20 percent casting ballots before being caught.”The bill, first introduced by Republican state Sen. Mark D. Obenshain, was prompted by a report that shed light on eight Virginia counties that had more registered voters on their voter rolls than eligible voters.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), an Indiana-based group that litigates to protect election integrity, released the report last year that sparked Obenshain’s bill.
PILF’s report found 1,046 aliens who were illegally registered to vote in a small sample of eight Virginia counties that responded to its public records requests.
Logan Churchwell, spokesman for the group, said it is reasonable to ask questions about voter rolls with more voters than citizens.
“It is entirely reasonable to ask questions when a voting jurisdiction has more registered voters than citizens,” Churchwell told the Washington Free Beacon. “The Justice Department for the past eight years refused to perform similar studies using powers it was already vested with. Virginia lawmakers and private parties like PILF were forced to pick up the slack. It’s astonishing to see a sitting governor calculate political blowback when voter roll integrity is at stake.”
McAuliffe vetoed a bill last year that would have required registrars to deny applicants who omitted biographical information about themselves, such as their age, on their voter forms.
In August 2016, McAuliffe cleared 13,000 felons to vote after the state supreme court struck down his previous order restoring the franchise to 206,000 felons.
