[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even pretending a national poll has relevance here (and I'm highly skeptical of the poll), the point remains that even if assuming most parents supported lengthy closures and were happy and fully on board with how things were and still are handled with the schools, the Democrat ones didn't support the policies enough to bother to vote for McAuliffe. This election was lost because his probable voters didn't go to the polls in sufficiently large numbers. Therefore, at some level, the lack of voter turnout had to do with disenchantment with Democrats on school issues. These aren't voters who would be willing to vote Republican, but they felt disconnected and disillusioned enough to not bother voting at all. If Biden's voters had returned to the polls, McAuliffe would have won. They didn't, and he lost.[/quote]

This election had record turn out for a governor's election.

People came out in droves, even dems.

They just vited for Youngkin.

If you look at polling data, potential McAuliffe voters who voted for Biden did not turn out the way that Youngkin voters did. That's why McAuliffe lost.[/quote]

Plenty of “potential McAuliffe voters” voted for Youngkin.   Lucky more of them did not vote. Youngkin would have won by a wider margin. [/quote]
