You rock, Virginia!!

We took Virginia by ONE VOTE? I'm loving that.

AMAZING! We have a Democrat lose one of the smaller cities' city council by 1 vote so this is sweet!

here's a case where it absolutely does.

ONE vote. A SINGLE vote. Just ONE LONE VOTE - made all the difference.

Find people who could explain in a few sentences how they almost didn't vote. Either they were very busy with life, or they were depressed, or they simply thought their vote wouldn't count anyways...but they scraped themselves up and went down and cast a ballot anyways. That democracy mattered enough, even if it was just enough, for them to make the effort. And of course getting their reaction to finding out their candidate won by one vote.

This isn't going to be a re re count? I know there will be lawsuits, but for reals?

and judges, attack the dems, and lie about and distort the facts

all the rw radio stations will ‘address’ this, the same way they did the florida recount in 2000 and every other major recount.

in VA 6 limbaugh stations that i’m pretty sure are screaming for a recount would lose many of their advertisers if students at uni of virginia and VT pushed their schools to start looking for apolitical alternatives to broadcast sports on.

from republiconradio.org
VIRGINIA 6 Virginia Tech 5, Virginia 1

protests to get the school logos off radio stations that are screaming to put another public school-defunding republican on the legislature should be a no-brainer. and they would get immediate outrage from the GOP and those stations and media would notice. losing those stations would be a huge blow to the GOP and would help local official keep this right.

This is amazing news. Every vote counts

Watch for ship jumpers in Washington.

I'm pretty damn sick of the negativity. DAMMIT, GET OUT AND VOTE AND WORK FOR THE VOTE!!!

I wonder which of the loss or the frustation is most painful ?

Votes need to be counted using "alternate math "

Next time someone says, "what difference will my one vote make?" Just remind them of this and say THIS difference, that's what!

I always tell my kids to get out and vote and won't you feel bad when Donald Trump wins Virginia by 1 vote and now I've got something to point to for the notion that every vote counts.

Californian here. It does allow one to sleep a little easier at night, doesn't it!

Your vote counts!

Please never say again that one vote doesn't count. Non-votes count too. If one person hadn't voted in that election....

:kick:

which Virginia was infamous for and allowed the Repukes to win for so long

There is no tie breaking mechanism for the VA House of Delegates and the repubs still control the state senate.

Getting rid of gerrymandering would require the Democrats to control the House (we don't) and the senate (we don't). We can block repub legislation but the repubs can block our bills, too.

On recount an absentee was sent in with a write-in with one name which was already on the ballot, it was tossed. The incumbent lost to the other since he ran on the other parties ticket after losing their endorsement. One vote.

What else needs to be said. That news blows a lot of shit arguments against voting for Democrats out of the water.
