Fitting since the end of 2017 became known for female empowerment. maybe we will get a better class of Democrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Apparently, the GOP candidate just won the VA senate race by hat draw. Cheaters prosper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This plus the other district where wrong ballots were handed out, that likely tipped election to the R candidate. Ridiculious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's praying on it just like she did when God told her to run for president. Fortunately, there's no way she wins...in fact, she would almost certainly get crushed in a landslide. She barely won elections in a district that was overwhelmingly GOP, so, no way she makes any headway statewide in a state that elected Paul Wellstone.

No Excuses Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The good news out of VA is that Dr. Northam will oversee redistricting. That should fix the problem of NoVA not receiving proper representation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LD0506 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Quote In a year when the rights of indigenous people have been under assault, from Standing Rock to the president’s Twitter feed, a largely unknown politician is pushing back by launching a campaign to become the country’s first Native American governor. Paulette Jordan, a 37-year-old Idaho state representative and member of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, is running as a progressive Democrat to try and become state governor. https://mic.com/articles/186821/meet-the-anti-trump-candidate-running-to-become-the-united-states-first-native-american-governor?tse_id=INF_93b35990f10311e7a9cc81acd1ce99d3&utm_campaign=WHFacebook&utm_content=inf_912_285_2&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=policymicFB#.77GTJsQwH I found this interesting but particularly I noted that she is expected to run against Raul Labrador......... ring a bell?

Kilmer17 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Does the legislature control redistricting or does the Gov have a role in that too? If only the Leg, than this is a huge deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Here's the disputed ballot in Virginia. It should have been thrown out. There is too much ambiguity and thus no way to to determine for certainty whether the person intended to vote for Simmonds or Yancey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well apparently there were additional ballots like this that were counted for Simonds which is why the Judge decided to allow it (Hearsay from someone who knows one of the lawyers involved). Guess she could have said throw that out but throw those others out as well in which case there would not have been a coin flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Since we haven't seen those other ballots, it's pure speculation for any of us to comment on hearsay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
