I guess we were lucky in Alexandria City. There was a good amount of people but I didn't have to wait more than a few minutes.

I wouldn't be so sure. Many, many people still still vote on Nov 3. It will likely be a close race.

And nobody voting early is an undecided voter.


I honestly have no idea if it will be a close race or not, but this is Fairfax County, reliably blue for awhile now. That this polling place is this crowded at the first chance to vote does not bode well to Trump for me. I think this could be an historic election in more ways than one.

Go turnout, go vote. Don't rely on someone else to swing the state for you.


Yes it is. But of course people have to vote. I’d bet every penny in my bank account that Biden will win VA though. You’re living in the past if you think it’s a swing state.

My Trump-loving mother who lives in a different state is convinced these are all Trump voters.

By all means go vote, but Va has not voted for a GOP POTUS candidate in 16 years. It's not happening this year. There is not a single republican who holds statewide office in Va.

Hilarious. Bye Don.

Solid blue? Maybe in NOVA. There’s an entire state out there that is not “solid blue.”


Do I need to explain statewide elections to you?

Some twitter wag said we don’t need exit polls - just count the masks.


Alot of Trump voters wear masks and disapprove of Trump's coronavirus performance.
In short, if someone isn't wearing a mask, they are almost certainly a Trump supporters. But the converse is not true.


+1
I know a lot of Trump voters and all wear masks.




Shy Bye Don voters, probably....
