Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 With the Democrats retaining the VA Senate and at least tying the VA House of Delegates, I'd say the $1,000 in campaign contributions I made to the VA Democratic Party was money well spent! 3 1 3 2 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is coming on the heels of the GOP expecting to claim at least one of the legislative chambers. Looks like this is extending to Monmouth County, and that's chud country.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Per author John Reeves: Quote CNN’s election coverage is a mess. Their large panel is tying themselves in knots trying to explain solid results for Democrats tonight compared with their own poll today that is unfavorable to Biden. They seem to place greater weight on polls than results. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there's no provision for that at all. There will be essentially a "coalition government" in the HoD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air_Delivery Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 This is why I don't really take the Trump-Biden polls seriously especially far before election. Trump motivates the Democratic base more than anything else and Gen Z/Millennials simply don't answer polls. That is why Democrats are gonna overperform polling for the forseeable future and Trump assuming he is the nominee is going to get ass blasted. 1 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 4 minutes ago, Jason said: Yes, they can impose significant legislative measures, but they cannot actually outlaw abortion up to the point of fetal viability which is what this amendment dictates. And those legislative measures would be litigated through the Ohio court system to determine whether they constitute a de-facto ban on abortion in the same way that measures were litigated through the Federal courts system when Roe was in effect.

Ricofoley Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Quote Randy Renstrom · 54m @randyrenstrom.bsky.social Great news in Johnston, IA. Three current school board members are connected to "Moms for Liberty" and the right-wing organization only needed to win one seat tonight to gain full control of the school board. They lost all four seats, setting up a progressive majority instead.

Things like location of clinics? Who can preform one? Actions needed before one takes place? I feel like they will try and make it like voting.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Per Erin Reed: Quote Another big victory for trans students in a Virginia school board race.
