👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

We LOVE data too! Thanks for ALL you do @pwcdanica.bsky.social.
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.

Fun story from 2017. When I first met @pwcdanica.bsky.social it was at an event when I was barely 18. I showed her my predictions for the House of Delegates which had her in a Likely D/Solid D race. She disagreed and said she was in a Toss-Up.
She won by 8.

Virginia officially surpasses 2021 early vote
This will be most early vote for a non-Presidential election in Virginia history
Expecting around 200K more including mail up until Election Day
Last day of in-person early voting is tomorrow
97K in 2021 and curious if we hit that
