Republican Glenn Youngkin was declared the winner of the Virginia gubernatorial race by a number of outlets and election analysts on Tuesday night after a hard-fought campaign that he entered as a significant underdog.
Despite trailing former governor Terry McAulife by as much as six and a half points in the RealClearPolitics polling average as late as the last week of August, Youngkin ultimately triumphed thanks to a hyper-focus on local issues and a commitment to walking the line between Trump supporters in rural, southern Virginia and wealthier suburbanites who were alienated by the MAGA wing of the party.
Youngkin will take office in 2022 after eight years of Democratic control
Everyone pray that the win stands, and that the overnight shenanigans that have to be well underway do not succeed.

Newsmax was the 1st to call for Youngkin.....Fox was last! I get so sick of Halprin & Rick Santarian trashing Trump on Newsmax. Newsmax can do better!

Great for Virginia...if it stands...but nationally... Now mail in voting looks legitimate... The communofascists could have easily frauded this election apparently they chose not to...by design? They still hold the strings...

Thus proving that voters are sick, tired, and disgusted of demonrat dictates showing how despotic they are.

I'm very happy with this! If the Commucrats don't come back and steal it, I hope that Youngkin works to abolish all of the devices and methods that they use to steal elections!

One of the state's populous counties are rescanning their ballots.....such tactics typically "find" thousands of Dem votes.

I know this isn't a done deal yet--well said #1--, but the fact that I didn't wake up to "McAuliffe won" is encouraging. I think that in reality Youngkin stomped him of course, but that didn't matter in 2020. It's much harder to pull something like this off when everyone KNOWS what you are doing and they're extremely motivated to stop you. Yes, praise the Lord!!!!!!! First glimmer of hope I've felt in awhile. Also a bit worried they might try a major false flag.....petulant spoiled and wicked brats.

Now they know how many votes they need. The printers are working overtime. The sleazy lawyers are preparing the lawsuits to claim inequity in voting. The Democrat shenanigans are just beginning.

FTA: "Despite trailing former governor Terry McAuliffe by as much as six and a half points in the RealClearPolitics polling average as late as the last week of August..."
This statement and the fact that Youngkin won by more than 2 points tells you everything you need to know about the communist propaganda masquerading as "polls".

it appears that I was so wrong in my predictions if these results hold and I couldn’t be happier! I am so proud of Virginians for stepping up for freedom. Maybe the sleeping giant has really stirred. Clearly, we are more “American” in our spirit than democrats thought. This is a small step but it definitely is in the right direction. Don’t look for dems to slow down, they won’t. In fact, they may double down but now at least they have a fight on their hands. It is going to be interesting to see how McConnell and McCarthy react to this. Everyone knows just how ineffective they have been and just maybe they will, at least, appear to want to lead. Not getting my hopes up on that one. However, bravo, Gov. Elect Youngkin! Well done!

Virginia is one happy state this morning. Youngkin will address their most serious problems immediately. I wish the media would stop dragging Trump into this because he had nothing to do with the win or the local issues but then they never do the right thing. Unless you count the stolen election that made poll watching a critical part of the win.

Looks like McAwful was unable to muster enough truckloads of Chinese ballots to steal the VA governor's race.
CRT is genocide. Deadmocrats may have to put their extermination plans on hold in VA .

Let's all pause for a moment - - and thank the man who made these great victories possible. Yes - - let's heap loads of praise on the L-Dotters' favorite senate leader - - Fightin' Roy Blunt!
Fightin' Roy campaigned tirelessly - - for months - - all over Virginia. And then - - in his spare time - - worked feverishly in New Jersey. Where Fightin' Roy gets all that energy - - only God knows - - but we all benefit from his hard work - - his tireless efforts - - his strategic thinking - - his brilliant oratory - - and his incredible leadership skills.
Thank you, senate leader Fightin' Roy - - you're the best!

A clean sweep! A triple header! A grand slam! Governor, Lt. Governor and AG all turned red!!!! This is a great day for America and a sign of things to come. Thank you, God!
Even CNN has called it.
I just spoke to my daughter who lives in Loudoun County and her town’s representative for the county just flipped to red too. She also said that the re-scanning of ballots in Fairfax County was legit and that republicans were there watching it and making sure that it was on the up and up.

The Takeaways from the Virginia Election:
1. You can't give the finger to parents then expect that they're going to vote for your sorry ass. You get between a Mamma Bear Soccer Mom and her kids at your own peril.
2. Merely running around screaming TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! and trying to gin up hysteria over January 6 is a losing strategy. It's the economy and education issues, stupid.
3. Obozo still has no coattails. Neither does Demented Poopypants.
4. Being a defeatist and spreading doom and gloom on social media forums makes you look rather silly when you turn out to have been completely wrong.

Why am I feeling like Lucy's setting up the ball for us Charlie Browns to kick? It sure would be clever if the Dems were offering up these sacrificial lambs here at the end of 2021 in order to throw us off their scent for the 2022 and, mainly, the 2024 elections.

McAuliffe is one bad apple and good for the people of Virginia to see through the corrupt fraud that he is. About as likable as Billary, Chuckie, and Nanie. Good riddance to bad rubbish. And if the Virginia pubbies gain control of the state house, all the better - currently some of these races are still up in the air.
I really expected massive voting fraud to push McAuliffe over the top. Grateful that I was wrong. But, kudos to biden the cheater, Kamalie, Obie, and Virginia's msm to help bury McAuliffe and provide Virginia with a good man in Youngkin.

It looks close at this time that the Republicans just may take the legislature as well. If so they can also correct the mess of election law in the state. No more mail in ballots and no more two months of early voting. Let’s pray!

I also have been skeptical of there ever being another honest election, and there probably was substantial fraud by the dems, but this was a huge victory!
This Republican rout will have all of the wretched, devious Marxist operatives out there shaking in their boots. It shows the deep state's power is limited. They can and will be defeated.

Not a Regan and not a Trump. Just a highly socialized business type who would have been a "moderate" Democrat in years past. But I'll take the win for it's value in stifling the national Democrat jihad.
More impressed with the school board team in Denver. They're actually talking like cultural, constitutional conservatives.

Now Youngkin has to deal with a demoslut controlled legislature, the socialist teacher's unions, and school boards. Remember too, the parents are still considered domestic terrorists by the DOJ, and FBI. Republicans may control the top of the plant, but the roots are still socialist/communist. That needs to change as well.

One of his first steps will be to arrest and prosecute all the Thugs that pushed the ILLEGAL Marxist agendas.

I find it amazing the 180 turn around FOX did from last Nov to last night. Just kept decreasing the % in and saying too many outlying votes. WTH.. How about AZ last year.. Last night they were trying their hardest to give the evil Dems time to get more votes... but in the end didn't work They were last to call it... They still looked like liars and cheats and the Dems are still their master. They changed % of votes in several times last night...

A terrific win we all prayed for, but there's a concern. Fairfax County stopping the counting last night. Reminiscent of the 2020 fraud election where the counting was stopped and "ballots" were found. We believe that Youngkin won by more than 2%, probably 8-10%. Thank God there was overwhelming voting for Youngkin, otherwise crooked McAwful would have won. That's what's going on in New Jersey with Jack for Governor. With all of the voting corruption, it's a miracle he's ahead in the count. Pray people because the demonrats want to steal this NJ election too like last year. Prayer can stop the enemy's plan to destroy our Country!

The fun is only beginning. If Republicans don't screw this up - which is a very real possibility, unfortunately - this momentum can last years and it can fundamentally change the political landscape. CRT, government overreach, identity politics, and the Biden agenda failed miserably. In a blue state. The GOP needs to keep their foot on the gas now.

Enjoy the moment. Critical Race Theory, the girl’s bathroom rape, and the DoJ calling parents domestic terrorists did the Communist-Democrats in. K. Bannon and Precinct Committeemen Strategy also did their part. F. Joe Biden & Ho.
