only a handful of localities had EV yesterday for few hours, and not as many as last year *Alexandria had 2 locations vs 4 in 2024 *Arlington had 3 vs 4 Fun fact about Arlington: In 2024, it averaged 3.1 EV locations open per voting day of EV. This year it's 1.5 💀

Actually new CNU Wason poll out today in afternoon I missed this announcement yesterday This is one of the Virginia based pollsters I pay attention to This will be their last poll of the cycle Last poll early October pre-texts was Spanberger +10%, Hashmi +9%, and Jones +6%
Not the most well known pollster But around the vibes right now AG close as expected A lot will come down to margin at top of ticket Around 8% win for Spanberger is range where Miyares could hang on 10% or more harder for him We’ll be getting final batch of polls this week

Very easy to make fun of this stuff if you're a Republican, but this demographic votes in every single election from town dog catcher to random special legislative election on Friday

The closest State House election in Virginia in 2023 came in #HD82, a Harris+4 seat covering the Petersburg area. Republican Kim Taylor won re-election in 2023 by 80 votes, but faces another tough challenge this year in a 2023 rematch against Kimberly Pope Adams RATING: Toss-Up

There's a pretty intense three-way commonwealth's attorney race in Portsmouth that includes former Dem Del. Steve Heretick.
Portsmouth's been leading the seven cities of Hampton Roads in early voting turnout. The Speaker's turnout machine is alive and well.

While Virginia Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner has attracted national attention for her role in the State AG race, she still has to win re-election in a tough district next month. Her #HD75 in the Hopewell area backed Harris by seven points last year. RATING: Toss-Up
