That statue poll is okay. Not worried! Lots of the democrat turnout in VA especially NoVA is Asian immigrants, and I bet most of them don't really give a poo poo either way about some monuments to an old war

What's the best site for looking at results with a fancy map? edit: anti-Arzy medication for when the rural counties report.

turnout is apparently currently at 37%, whereas it was 43% in 2013. So it looks like they'll hit that or under? If these Democratic areas are higher than expected like we're seeing, then that would mean that Republican areas are MUCH lower. Which would be very good. edit: whoops, I misread, that was just Richmond. My analysis is worthless.

I'm curious to see how the Democrats actually having a ton of local candidates winds up affecting margins in the red wastes. Gotta figure a candidate's neighbors and friends at least might venture a straight D vote where they otherwise might have sat out in hostile territory.

I don't understand this map. Why are nuclear power plants supposed to be nuke targets? I've heard that what would basically happen is small weapons would be targeted on the major cities with the big guns pointed at like, Montana and Wyoming because this is the best guess as to where our arsenal is located.

War flashbacks to elementary school civil war unit, never good.

End the prohibition on locals deciding to do it themselves is a good start.

Gort posted:They don't say which place though Jokes aside I think UT's strategy starts to approach ideal - pick out the people you're definitely honoring for other very good reasons, move the other statues to a consolidated out of the way location. I HOPE UT settles on also emplacing explanations of why the monuments were garbage, but even without that it's basically an acceptable solution on most levels.

If white Democrats were totally on board with minority issues (oversimplification, but you know what I mean), the party wouldn't be bickering over whether it's focusing too much on them.
