Yeah, sure....

Because you expected FFX County to come out in full force for Trump??

Those numbers make no sense.

I feel like a conspiracy theorist, but it's always the same: Fairfax County gets counted last, and some mysterious mail-in ballots magically make up the difference. suspicious.

It’s trumps doing. He started this in Texas

Oh well. Too bad, so sad.

Texas was barely 65% and it was legal based on population growth this is totally illegal

No, illegal was the Republicans’ gerrymandered Virginia map that hat to be tossed because it violated the Voting Rights Act.

Louise remembers

She's on fire.

Yes she's amazing great job she's doing for her area

Portsmouth, Virginia tops the list of the most dangerous cities in Virginia, with 58.15 per 1000 people.
In 2024, the city recorded an alarming 8.84 violent crimes per 1000 residents, alongside a property crime rate of 49.30 per 1000.
These statistics position Portsmouth as one of the most challenging cities in terms of public safety within the state.
Annual Crimes in Portsmouth:
Population: 97,029
Violent Crimes: 858
Property Crimes: 4,784
Total Crimes: 5,642
Chances of Becoming a Victim: 1 in 113.
The root causes of Portsmouth’s crime issues are multifaceted, primarily driven by a high poverty rate and substantial economic challenges. Its poverty rate is higher than the national average.
The city has struggled with unemployment rates that exceed the national average, limited job opportunities in key sectors, and a workforce that often lacks access to the education and training necessary for upward mobility.
These economic hardships create a breeding ground for both property and violent crimes as residents face desperation and limited options.
Portsmouth’s crime rates are further exacerbated by issues such as housing instability and a lack of investment in public infrastructure.
Neighborhoods facing the highest crime rates often show signs of neglect, with public areas in disrepair and homes in dilapidation.
While Portsmouth cannot be rated as the most dangerous city in USA, its crime rates certainly rank it quite high.

Louise Lucas is doing what she can to deal with a bad situation that she did not create. Old, white conservatives did that. They went to great lengths to defund public schools and oppress black people over many decades. Don't blame the people in that area because they don't have a lot of opportunities available to them today.

Louise Lucas is on fire.

As Chair of the Senate Education & Health Committee, she has been a leading voice on reproductive rights and education.

Following the 2022 Chesapeake Walmart shooting in her district, she has actively fought for stricter gun laws and extreme risk protection orders.

She worked to fight discrimination on city-owned land and has secured funding for local projects, including revenue compensation for the City of Portsmouth.

Throughout her career, she has focused on social, civic, and political advocacy, including her role as a life member of the NAACP.

She has pushed for economic development initiatives, including casino gaming regulation and opposing certain stadium subsidies.

Senator Lucas has consistently advocated for marginalized communities, navigating a long career in the General Assembly to advance Democratic policies.

Plus, she's not afraid to stand up to Republican a-holes.

If Louise Lucas is “on fire,” then where are the results in Portsmouth after all these years?

The city has struggled with crime, poverty, and economic stagnation for a long time under the same political leadership. That is not a record of transformation.

And now that crime is finally dropping, it is happening alongside a broader national decline that coincides with Donald Trump being back in office, not because Louise Lucas suddenly discovered how to fix Portsmouth overnight.

So if people want to hand out credit based on timing alone, they may be thanking the wrong person.

Tweets and political theater are easy. Long term measurable results are harder.

VA Supreme Court members bummed out today. Now they must issue a few “unpopular” rulings.

Yeah, sure....

Because you expected FFX County to come out in full force for Trump??

Those numbers make no sense.

I feel like a conspiracy theorist, but it's always the same: Fairfax County gets counted last, and some mysterious mail-in ballots magically make up the difference. suspicious.

Count to 10,000, then count to 600,000. See which one takes longer. Come back and let us know the outcome.

It takes less than a second in both cases. It's called a voting machine.

They’re physically running paper ballots through a machine that can process 300 ballots per minute. Obviously they’re using more than one machine to count all of FFX votes, but because paper ballots are used, it’s a manual scanning process that takes far more than a second to tally even 10,000 votes.

It didn't start with Texas. It started with NY.

The ballots were counted the moment they were inserted into the optical scanner. There was no retabulation that requires feeding the paper ballots into the scanner again.

Actually it started in 2021 with Illinois.
