Do they not have mail in ballots in Virginia? I don't know why you would ever go to the polling stations in this climate.

Many people are scared that their ballots will be lost in the mail if they don't drop off in person, given the current USPS situation.

E: in general. I actually don't know if this is the case on VA actually

Because there's a lot more that could go wrong with mail in ballots vs. polling stations.

Mail In Ballots:
*The ballot gets lost before it gets into USPS's hands
*USPS loses the ballot
*USPS delivers the ballot late and now it doesn't count
*The recipient loses the ballot once delivered
*The recipient counts the ballot incorrectly

Polling Station:
*The station counts the ballot incorrectly

There's just more risk with mail in ballots.

Clearly you haven't been paying attention to the situation with the USPS.

I know this looks bad, but their beliefs are valid and we should compromise with them in order to get anything done, I promise. We have to be respectful.

Just kidding, there's not enough fire in Hell.

That's the only comfort I get, really. That at the end of the day, if there is a Hell, they will likely go there.

It bugs me that the right is so aggressive and cheats so much but then projects blame on the left everytime they are called on it.

I will never vote Republican again in my life. I hope they never get a chamber in VA again.

Just take Nova and combine it with DC to make a state and leave the rest of VA to enjoy itself

The politics of the two are too different to be governed by one party or the other. Since Northam has been in, he's pretty much ignored everyone that's didn't vote blue. I just think everyone would be happier

Republicans in Virginia would prefer that the backwoods areas of the state get to decide what happens, and gerrymandered the hell out of the state specifically to keep NoVa, Richmond, and Hampton Roads out of the General Assembly as much as possible.

That stopped working last year, as the entire Assembly went blue.

Well, yes and same for the other side as well. Everyone agrees with themselves.

I'm not too informed on the Gerrymandering, but I'm sure it's a horrid situation as always
