Line was wrapped halfway around the Mount Vernon government center, it was really nice to see.

Winsome doesn’t stand a chance.

Don't count on that. I have been alarmed by the number of Winsome signs lining Route 29 between DC and Charlottesville. I hope Spanberger pulls it off but that dem AG candidate is going to be a drag on her.

I wouldn’t assume everyone early voting is a Dem. We early voted all Rep in Arlington (which I think went 20% for Trump in 2024, so 1 out of 5 voters).

Also Fort Hunt (where I think OP voted re the location they mentioned?) is a Republican enclave - we know a ton of republican staffers and lobbyists who live there.

I think the MAGAs underestimate the 'laid off federal worker and contractor" vote.

Sings don't vote.
Also, the energy is very high in traditional democratic areas and low in traditional GOP areas.

True signs do vote. But the absence of signs in NOVA speaks volumes. As does the projections of early voting - https://www.vpap.org/visuals/visual/timeline-of-early-voting-by-party/

How do they know how many Dems vs Rs voted so far? I thought VA didn’t track party registration (just moved here though so please correct me if I’m wrong). Are they basing it on location and guessing political affiliation based on that?

We drive through various parts of rural VA weekly for falls sports. There are SIGNIFICANTLY fewer Sears signs this year than there were Youngkin signs. And we did see quite a few homes that had local R officials but no Sears.

Maybe they are realizing that MAGA isn't the solution.

Agreed. Youngkin had way more support in this area.

This. Particularly signs placed by campaign operatives in the medians of highways.

Maybe they are actually independents.
