Also: I was annoyed provisional ballots weren't reallocated back to precincts like early in-person early ballots and mail-in absentee ballots (regular and PE), so we passed my bill SB 1044 this year to do that.
So now you can see provisional vote totals by precinct.

On the one hand, neutral data collected and analyzed academically and presented as unbiased and factual is how things are supposed to work.
On the other hand, a group of uninsured people serving as an accidental "control group" and then dying is just effed up.

The government is shut down over health care. But does insurance save lives?
The surprisingly tricky question stumped researchers for decades. But they think they finally have an answer.

One other thing: No matter what happens with the final vote count, this race is going to be near the top of the list for both parties in 2027: one on defense, one on offense.

Some people might think that the 13 Democrats who flipped seats in the Virginia House of Delegates Red to Blue might not have staying power and will just be washed out when the pendulum swings back.
Let’s look at the Class of ’17, when we flipped 15 seats Red to Blue + held an open Democratic seat.🧵

The Republican hate speech towards trans kids was never a winning strategy - and it never will be. Maybe it’s time to try something radical, like focusing on real issues: traffic, infrastructure, cost of living, and making sure every kid gets fed at school, no matter what.

I just got back home from Governor-elect Spanberger's party in Richmond. A few things:
1) Emerge Virginia had a banner night. EVA alumnae flipped the Governor's seat and 8 House of Delegates seats Red to Blue, retained all 17 of HoD incumbents and swept all six local races where they ran. 🧵

Today’s the first Election Day in the odd-number year I haven’t been on a ballot since 2015. Can‘t even begin to express enough gratitude to the voters of SD-30 for electing me to a four-year term in 2023. Sincerely. Winning four battleground campaigns in six years is necessary but exhausting work.
