Watch voting in Staunton for a glimpse at what may happen tonight (link)


From the linked article:

"Staunton, a blue dot in the reddest part of the state, a bellwether?

Look at the numbers:

Election/Race Virginia Staunton
2018 U.S. Senate Tim Kaine 57.0% Tim Kaine 56.4%
2017 Governor Ralph Northam 53.9% Ralph Northam 53.3%
2016 President Hillary Clinton 49.7% Hillary Clinton 47.4%
2014 U.S. Senate Mark Warner 49.1% Mark Warner 48.2%
2013 Governor Terry McAuliffe 47.7% Terry McAuliffe 47.2%
2012 President Barack Obama 51.1% Barack Obama 51.1%
2012 U.S. Senate Tim Kaine 52.8% Tim Kaine 51.7%

It doesn’t take a lot in terms of mental gymnastics to see Staunton as a microcosm of the Commonwealth."
