Buchanan on VA outcome
a year after Joe Biden won Virginia by 10 points did McAuliffe lose the state by three, a 13-point turnaround. In New Jersey, which Biden had won by 16, the popular Democratic governor barely survived a cliffhanger.
These dramatic shifts in voter behavior testify to a serious misreading by Democrats of the presidential election returns of 2020.
Bidenâs total of 81 million votes, with a 7-million vote margin over former President Donald Trump, had been hailed as testament that his time had come and that the American people had both rejected Trumpism and embraced the liberal policies and politics of good old Uncle Joe.
But the 2020 election was in reality a referendum on a single simple question: Do you want four more years of Trump? Yes or no?
The Biden victory was a rejection of Trump, not a mandate for the agenda of Bidenâs party, which, with its left-wing core dominant, is outside the mainstream of America.
When the American people voted for Biden, they were voting for competence and an end to the daily conflict and chaos, not a Second Great Society.
They were not voting for $6 trillion or $3.5 trillion for cradle-to-grave socialism. They were not voting to âDefund the Police!â or tear down statues of Christopher Columbus and Confederate soldiers, or rename schools carrying the names of George Washington, Woodrow Wilson, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Robert E. Lee.
They were certainly not voting to abandon Trumpâs wall and throw open the nationâs borders to anyone who can make it through Mexico to the Rio Grande â or to give $450,000 in reparations for migrant families who were separated from their children after breaching our border. They were not voting to have their children taught in public schools that the country they love is shot through with âsystemic racism,â and most children in America are born into âwhite privilegeâ and belong to an oppressor class whose victims are children of color.
The message to the Democratic Party Virginia sent was this:
âYou can indulge the crazies in your party, but if the American people come to believe you share their ideas and intend to implement them, we are going to relieve you of control of Congress in 2022 and of the White House in 2024. Rely upon it.â

There has been a bit of ink spilled over the past few months about âdefund the policeâ being dead. Pick any of those articles and you have your analysis, even if they arenât talking about the seattle election specifically.

My question was rather rhetorical. I live close to Portland, another uber liberal city. It doesnât matter how radical and ill-advised proposed measures are, Portlandâs voters will support them. That Seattle finally voted against a radical candidate tells me there is a limit to what these cities will approve. Crossing fingers that is indeed the case.

The young man presented identification but was ineligible to be registered due to his age and was not permitted to vote. The man was given a registration form and encouraged to register for future elections," the office of elections said in a statement to NBC News.
A success for voter ID laws!

Isnt it a little concerning that those charged with enforcing our voting laws apparently do not even know what the voting laws are? There is no uncertainty about what he did, so what he did either clearly broke a law or it clearly didnt.
Why do I get the feeling it was reported to be âunclearâ simply to make it appear controversial?

maybe itâs not a crime to try to vote illegally, only if you succeed?

I agree. I just dont see how it could be âunclearâ if any laws were broken. So the people in charge are either really stupid, or theyâre trying really really hard to avoid admitting he didnt do anything illegal.

Itâs stated as unclear because the officials arenât prosecutors, and obviously the governorâs son wonât be prosecuted, whether itâs a crime or not. He showed up twice, insisting he had the right to vote. The second time, itâs pretty obviously willful. Aside from being a crime or not, itâs absurd itâs the âgovernorâs sonâ who doesnât know whoâs eligible to vote and tried twice to case illegal votes.
" § 24.2-1016. False statements; penalties.
Any willfully false material statement or entry made by any person in any statement, form, or report required by this title shall constitute the crime of election fraud and be punishable as a Class 5 felony."

Yes for the crime of illegally casting a vote, in that state it appears to need a ballot actually cast or deposited. Depending on the actual insistence/statements he made, itâs a different Class 5 felony for making false statements.
Pehaps this comment represents the problems we see today? Prosecutors are not suppose to be determining what constitutes a crime. The law, which is available for anyone to read, does. A prosecutorâs job is to prove what did or did not happen, and what happened is not in question here.
Or he was testing the veracity of the polling places? Maybe as a test, or maybe just because he wanted to vote. He may also have misunderstood laws regarding voting age, where in some places underage persons are able to vote in primaries depending on when their birthdays are, and he truly believed the first poll worker who rejected him was wrong. Regardless, it appears everyone involved knows he didnt try to lie about his age or his identity or anything material, which is a necessary first step to establish fraud.
If you think this is applicable, then you are making up context to spin the appearance of a crime.
In fact, per this quote, had he filled out the form accurately and presented a valid ID, him casting a vote would not constitute fraud. Any fraud or other violation of election integrity wouldâve been on the part of the poll worker, not the son.
Thatâs where the actual news story is. His dad was just elected governor. Yet he doesnât know the voting age, or doesnât bother to participate in his family enough for his kids to know. Meanwhile the other candidate is the one attacked as anti family participation from one statement spun out of context to a sound bite with a completely different meaning.
No. Commas arenât an âandâ. A falsified form is not required. Statement, form, OR report. Not and.
I didnât say they determine crimes. They would file charges for crimes. Judge/jury determines culpability.
Itâs not a poll workerâs job to charge people with crimes or not. Itâs absurd to whine that the poll worker wouldnât tell the reporter if a minor committed a crime or not.
More making stuff up to suit your narrative, I see.,
Who said anything about âandâ? Something has to be falsified, and by all accounts nothing was⌠Providing accurate information that makes you ineligible and being allowed to vote anyways wouldnât be crime under that language. You seem to again be making up more context so that the story fits your desired narrative.
Bender, what is your level of outrage about this compared to a boy trying to vote? Good luck to the new attorney general trying to investigate this. The swamp will oppose him every step of the way. I wonder if theyâll trot out their version of the Russia hoax?
Loudoun County police on Thursday charged high school counselor Ann Barrett, who allegedly had an inappropriate relationship with an underage student from 2013 to 2015. Loudoun County Public Schools placed Barrett on leave in May after the case surfaced
Police are also investigating a boy at Harmony Middle School who allegedly groped male classmates last week in a hallway.
And on Tuesday, the Daily Mail reported that the 15-year-old âgender-fluidâ high schooler who last month was found guilty of raping a classmate in a school bathroom sent nude photos of himself to a girl when he was in the fifth grade. The girlâs parents decided not to seek charges against the boy as long as the school district separated him from their daughter.
Terry McAuliffeâs loss in the Virginia gubernatorial race has sent shock waves through the Democrat establishment. Some are blaming the rise of racism, domestic terrorist parents of public-school students, and lack of understanding of true Marxism for the loss. After careful study of the results, however, the campaign determined the true cause was a shockingly low turnout among 3 a.m. ballots.
âWe thought we had it in the bag with all the early vote ballots, all the absentee ballots, all the dead voter ballots, and frankly we got a little lazy and let the country down,â said McAuliffe campaign head Biff Tannen. âLet this be a lesson to all Democrat candidates facing an election in this hostile environment full of terrorist parents who donât want their girls raped in school bathrooms by guys wearing skirts. Do not rely on actual people voting for Democrats! The 3 a.m.ballot demographic is key to Democrat victory from now on."
