The off-year elections take place in various states and municipalities today. The Virginia and New Jersey governors races will be decided along with the New York City mayoral race and numerous other regional elections in FL, OH, MN, PA and MI.
Virginia will be the most watched race as polls close at 7:00pm ET. Virginia passed a new law last year requiring counties to pre-process absentee ballots before the election, which should allow officials to report the result of the advance vote soon after the polls close. However, if you see those previously processed absentee ballots ‘NOT REPORTED’ early that would indicate the vote counters holding back ballot harvest results until they figure out how many they need.
The media will use these early results, likely favorable to Terry McAuliffe, in order to set the tone according to party position and direction from the executive media suites.
I hope not.
They called it. Youngkin wins by a huge margin…..

If you haven’t actually lit the Tiki Torch, can you return it to Walmart for store credit?
(Asking on behalf of a Democrat operative.)
??????
In political circles, 55% or more is a landslide. Well played and well earned.
Watch out for Lisa! She can smell the Trump voters.
? The torches got wet. Better save them for midterms.
One of the threads of spin will be, if Youngkin wins, is that there couldn’t have possibly been any election fraud in Nov. 2020 if an R now wins in VA.
Or it could be that Joe Biden sucks so bad the Democrats can’t do enough fraud. Let’s go Brandon!
A guy on MSNBC just said as much. LOL.
I’ve been waiting for exactly that spin too.
Let’s see whether they’re still on it on Friday.
Or they can’t raise enough money to pay for it this time around? ??♀️
Mediate has a post up saying Rachel Maddow is blaming fox nooze for giving Youngkin ‘free help’
???
Project much, Rach?
Sure they’ll say it. My response is that the vote fraud doesn’t work when the Republicans win by 10%. It’s too risky.
There will be some of that.
I think it is more 2 things:
1) they got away with 2020 and going to far in this race would further re-enforce that fact. Losing VA defused it some what. Besides it isn’t a senate seat or something important.
2) they more, or less, legitimately they won VA through demographics. They didn’t think they would loose.
I 1/2 think that they want a “clean” election so they know wear they stand. They have so muddied the polling and election waters that it is the only real way to know the truth about public option.
I also think that the establishment isn’t going to burn capitol on furthering Clinton people. The Clinton power is waning and I doubt the DNC sees them as the future
They have given Hillary up to Durham
She’s going down
What’s that “Durham”people keep talking about?
/sarcasm
At the Politico link, looks like VA.’s gonna have a:
1) Rep. Gov.
2) Rep. Lt. Gov.
3) Rep. Attny. General
Great to have all 3, easier for voters to hold them accountable.
We need the House of Delegates too. We’re flipping seats.
We just flipped my District to Red!!!!
Congrats!!!!
AWESOME!!!!!
What district? What politician?
Deleted.
Happy for you, Eric. ( and for the rest of us here in the U.S., too!)
The more Repubs you get, the easier it will be for all of you Virginians to pressure them to do the right thing.
So good luck with the House of Delegates, too!
They got monkey hammered.
District HD-75 (VA) went Red. This destroys the narrative that GOP can’t win in mostly Black areas.
Boo — My district 67 in Fairfax county stays blue.
Probably key for the mid-terms and 2024 presidential election. Like we saw with GA nothings for sure but it at least starts with a chance.

Newsmax, Decision Desk HQ project Republican Glenn Youngkin will win the Virginia gubernatorial race.
Even if he is a Rino/Uniparty type as people have posted, it’s better than the current Governor, I’m sure Eric would agree!!
Plus, it shows people it can be done and is a good start towards the mid-terms.
Looks like McAwful’s campaign of hate didn’t play as well as he thought it would.
Rush is looking down and laughing – he loved to poke the punk. Must have been at least 10 years ago when Rush nicknamed McAwful.
I sure miss that man, RIP El Rushbo
I miss him too, more and more each day. No one has taken his mantle, no one
No one ever will. Least of all the handpicked roadie Fox News installed.
Yeah he also called him the Clinton bag man!
Yes, so many reasons to miss him every day, but especially during election times. He was a decades-long friend to many of us. I spent more time with him than friends I personally know. (Rest in Peace, Rush.)
Mega Dittos
I miss how Rush would sign off his show the day before an election: “We meet…at dawn.”
Me too.?
Nix on the Lincoln Project guys too.
Again, watching MSNBC tonite>>>> highly recommended. (!)
Elise …..when MAGA Republican wins America wins…not when rino wins…

We knew we would sweep as early as 5pm. Every GOP indicator was off the charts. The turnout was historic.
If Murphy wins NJ will be unbearable… That guy is answerable to no one! He’s the elite and hates us…. every last one of us.
You’re right about that. NJ is the most corrupt commie sh*thole in America.
Illinois hold up we’re trying!
Come on people. I live in California….OK, at least we have the weather.
I think Illinois is the worst.
Maybe not the worst, but definitely in the top five. Just Saying ???
God I hate that guy!
I feel your pain.
McAuliffe is a pretty well connected swamp rat. He is close to the Clintons. This is humiliating for a guy with such huge ego.
He is a big shot in the swamp. But not in real America of course. 2 different worlds.
Great Stuff!
Me thinks Dems in Congress and the Senate may be a little nervous after this evening.
This is really big going forward..
The negative nellies will always be such, but the Republicans had a terrific night in Virginia.
Cheers!
And not to gloat, but I am loving watching him be miserable. He knows we know that he knows that we know he is a POS.
“This is humiliating for a guy with such huge ego.”
Jack Posobiec Twitter…. Biden just declined to take a call from Terry McAuliffe , per WH offical
Lord, did Terry think” Joe leave them behind” would take that call?
Joe probably already put on a fresh diaper and went to bed
Smashed peas and lights out. Lol
Smashed Peas for lunch… Apple Sauce after dinner… warm glass of milk before nigh-nigh…
Such a burn.
Sleepy is already tucked into bed. His day ends around 6pm. after his bowl of jello.
and his diaper change.
It’s past Joe’s bedtime, even McAuliffe should know that.
Ha ha can you imagine what that call would have sounded like?
You senile old fart! You cost me a second chance at the governor’s mansion.
Biden is asleep and probably has been asleep for quite some time. You know that trip has completely confused his body about the time differences. Hahaha!
no break at time of ICE CREAM ORGY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is AWESOME!!!!! Complainers and cynics, take a break cuz THIS IS A HUGE WIN for our country!!!
????????????????????
How so? The new GOP governor of VA is aligned with Nikki Haley.
That’s a problem for another night. For now the needle got moved a bit in our direction.
We didn’t win the war, but we won a battle. So let’s enjoy it for a few hours.
Nikki will continue to flip flop and eventually put her foot in her mouth too many times. Nicki needs to step out of politics and perhaps take up gardening, knitting, or maybe volunteering at a local food bank.
peace: I agree, but, unfortunately, her type never goes away. She’ll be rattling around in national politics well into her dotage.
IMHO, she’s not a threat.
duly noted
its not over with yet…
Dont forget the magic mail in votes over night. I ll be happy to be wrong.
Votes look to be outside the margin of fraud, so the Dem machine looks to have pulled the plug on plans to cheat.
GOPe Youngkin is someone the uniparty can live with, and this victory will “prove” the absence of fraud. See, elections are real after all! True, if it’s a wave vote outside the margin of cheat.
Youngkin will have constraints on how left/globalist he can go though.
The really important part of this is down ballot. The AG race is crucial. My impression is Miyares is MAGA. Can anyone confirm? That’s such an important office when it comes to resisting federal mandates.
The Lt Gov race winner looks very MAGA.
Buy key is the legislature. A lot of BS abortion, voting, and 2nd amendment tomfoolery went down in the VA legislature in the last several years. If the legislature turns true MAGA, a lot of that may be able to be overturned.
The lesson here is VOTE.
You can still out-vote the fraud.
Also volunteer on the ground. The volunteers made a huge difference.
may I add? ….. BE YOUR PRECINCT CHAIR!
Congrats to you especially Eric! You stayed true the whole time.
I believe the posters here posting multiple posts a day that it was useless to vote are dems in disguise. It is fine if that is someone’s honest opinion but not to repeatedly try to convince people here not to vote. Just my opinion,
They are on all the sites I visit that have comments. Not the same names.
But the same sad refrain.
Not a fan of Miyares, but voted for him. Would have preferred Chuck. Time will tell w/Winsome, but she definitely speaks MAGA.
“Youngkin will have constraints on how left/globalist he can go though.” Yes. I plan on going full throttle if he screws up.
The poison is the mandate. Maybe the USPS will not the deliver their surprise mail in ballots. No incentives for them to cheat when their jobs are on the line.
As Joe himself might say “This is a big f’ing deal”
Bidung is not going to take a call past his bedtime.
Sundowner time, lights out and put to bed.
No surprise there. It’s well past Brandon’s beddy bye time.
I KNEW this would happen!!!!
People are really waking up to these criminal lunatics!
They got the news about that 450k USD giveaway for illegals. A bridge too far to stomach.
Thank you Lincoln Project! You did it!!!!!!!!
What a sh!t show.

We may be picking up District 94 which was on nobody’s radar
Watching coverage on MSNBC tonite has been an absolute pleasure.
And I’m *not* being sarcastic!
Are they on suicide watch?
Will never forget 94 election night for the same reason.
You’re courageous. Can’t wait for the memes!
Interesting theory – media polls showing a Youngkin decisive win ahead of time might have shut down the steal.
I thought they might not want to risk it all on a Clinton retread.
Think deeper.
The Clinton machine is being dismantled.
The Obama Communist wing is taking over that party.
It’s ok to let the RINO win to accomplish that goal.
get to bed
We remember -rd munster-ryan………
Any news on NJ not expecting the same result but would make me sleep well tonight.
I hope so.

Looking like a complete massacre in the House of Delegates. Races that weren’t on anyone’s hot list are in play – we are DEEP in enemy territory tonight.
Making Bobby Lee proud…
Holy mackerel. They’re stalling for time for all the fake/altered ballots they’ll need to overcome Youngkin now……
Old news. This was already handled. GOP lawyers were there (look on previous page).
Just stop it, Fairfax! We see you. America sees you. Just stop.
So much optimism in this thread – scares hell out of me but I pray this lead holds up.
Once bitten, twice shy and I’m so old I’ve been gnawed like a dog’s bone.
MEGA Make Everything Trump Again
Go Braves
Possibly cutting losses? If observers are close by watching the process with lawyers on speed-dial, re-scanning the ballots without any original inaccurate votes – might prevent the discovery of any obvious fraud/error effort that could end with some perp walks.
I don’t know….I’ll believe it when it’s over and Youngkin truly wins! I’m still waiting for the DNC to pull out the fraudulent ballots at last minute.
The Treehouse is suffering an epidemic of PTSD from Nov3.
It’s understandable.
But tonight – Embrace the Not-Suck!
Hilarious that MSNBC is claiming VA is too close to call! lmao
That 10 point lead makes this election a nail biter!
WARNING TO DEMOCRATS:
Do not mess with our kids!
Parents and grandparents had enough and voted against CRT, and gender ideology.
Take note D’s. We love our kids.
Fairfax County misses early voting deadline and has to re-scan all the data. Sure. Right.
I don’t care if every single news outlet calls it for Youngkin tonight, I still won’t trust it. Not sure when I will, but the left has days, at a minimum, to turn it around. 2020 changed so many things. All bets are off. Everything is on the table. By any means necessary.
Sorry. Don’t mean to be a downer, but America experienced a tectonic shift in 2020.
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2021/11/02/democrat-stronghold-fairfax-county-misses-early-ballot-deadline-in-virginia-n2598467
They don’t have enough votes. GOP lawyers and Veterans all over Fairfax County. They won’t get too far.
“Re-scan” should be read as “create thousands of fake ballots.” Just like the 2020 election fraud.
Sarah – I agree with you. While I have hope, I’m still waiting for the DNC to swoop in and steal, like they keep getting away with. If it is called for Youngkin tonite, I expect DNC to sic the lawyers on it tomorrow!
Gives me a headache.

Man clean sweep when RNC isn’t working against you
This is what the Uniparty boat looks like with just one oar.
Lol. Well played.
Yep.
I’m sure they’ll brand her as a white nationalist enabler or some such nonsense.
They have NC’s Lt Gov Mark Robinson
JOINS NC’S Lt Gov Mark Robinson (Prob the MOST conservative politician and elected official in NC)…..
She is one of those black white supremacists like Candace Owens, Larry Elder and me.
get ready for this from merrick garland ‘ if these SOB’S win in 22,were all going to jail’.
4 votes against Murphy from my household.
“The Hill” just called NYC Mayor for Adams.
No surprise.
In the NY mayor race Adam s is pulling a Jeb by dragging his deceased mother out on stage for some sympathy,
MSNBC and Rachel Madcow are now saying that CRT is fake and Republicans have fooled Americans/voters into believing it and that the Dems don’t know how to fight dirty like Republicans, etc.. etc… etc…
?
I can’t wait ’til she starts the Spending Time With Family thing.
Looks like Sliwa lost in NYC, by quite a bit. (like 80/20 so far)
That one hurts.
Not really surprising
Too many seemingly rational people think he will clean up De Blasios mess because he’s ex NYPD. Infuriating that they don’t really pay attention. He’s very progressive and will gladly see the un-vaxxed segregated from any life in public, forever?Good job, NYC. FUBAR.
I really thought Curtis had a chance since he is so well known.
Younkin up by over 10 points!
But the race was said to be thisclose!
LOL!!!
This alliance should terrify the left.
When Biden wakes up tomorrow someone will have to remind him that he is President of you know … the the that thing! lmao
If VA & NJ Govs change handily, further cement the fact 2020 was outright stolen from President Trump.
I don’t believe one party can make such headway in a year without the previous election being suspect.
Fact Check: TRUE
NJ is the bigger litmus test of any meaningful shift.
In PA, the GOP has a complete stranglehold over the legislature. And refuses to audit 2020.
That is why I am NOT cheering on the VA GOP win tonight. It is a RINO win, by people who hate Trump.
That’s not true at all. Stop spreading those lies.
I think you are spreading a lot of nonsense here tonight, Nikki.
Do you live in Virginia? Do you know what is going on here?
Excellent point
Thank you Lincoln Project, you did it!

To think that all those years as a professor at UVA Sabato posed as a pollster when he’s a friend of TA and Dems.

I don’t watch election coverage, but I would wager the exit polling is something along the lines of “we’re $&@!ing pissed” “Let’s go Brandon!” and 10% margin of victory will drive a LOT of Dem retirements.
