If you have friends and family in Virginia, call/text/email them today and make sure they vote.

No excuses, we need a big turn out.

Polls close at 7:00 pm, but if you are in line, they'll let you vote.

From the SBE:

Before the polls close they:

At 6:45 PM announce that polls will close in 15 minutes.

After the polls close they:

At 7:00 PM announce that Polls Are Closed.

starting from the end of the line, make list of names of those in line to assure they will be permitted to vote if line continues after 7:00 PM closing of polls

that there is going to be a pretty good turnout for this off-year election. I was voter #232, and in earlier years at about 7:00 a.m. I had often been voter# 7 or 8. So, I think there will be heavier turnout for this one, but that's just a guess. And who knows which side has really gotten out the vote?

Someone in another thread said she was going to stop by the liquor store to get some booze for when the pubs lose. I think I'll do that, too.

Ds will overpower Rs here, but as long as Ds come out all over the state, I think we can knock those crazies back to where they came from.
