[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can. I voted for McCain. You will be asked to sign a loyalty pledge.[/quote]

This is not true. I’m a lifelong Virginian and been registered to vote since I turned 18 (and I’m old). You do not register with a political party nor do you have to sign any loyalty pledge (WITW is that). For a primary, you simply show up and tell them what primary you’re voting in and they will give you the appropriate ballot. You can only vote in one, so if they’re both democrat and republican primaries at the same time you will have to pick.

Crossing party lines happens a lot in Virginia and is a well used strategy. This is how Bratt won the republican primary over Eric Cantor (democrats mobilized in mass and voted in the republican primary for Bratt thinking he would be the easier candidate to beat in the general election). It worked in beating Cantor but then Bratt won the general election.  [/quote]

And then Brat got spanked by Abigail Spanberger, propelling her political career. And she's very likely to be VA's next Governor.

In the long-run, the Dem strategy worked. Extremely well. They flipped a long time GOP seat and are now set to reclaim Richmond in 2025.[/quote]
