We had ours yesterday.
Republicans took the Lehigh County board and won several of the other local races. Just wondering how other places in the country fared.....could be a good barometer of the elections next year.... AFARR |

Quoted:
In Virginia. Unless there are tricks played the GOP will control both houses of the Legislature along with Gov and Lt. Gov. The one Senate race that turns the tide has the GOP canadate up by less than 100 votes. Lawyers are inbound.  This is HUGE for Virginia gun owners. Why? -because the state democraps who now control the state senate also control committee appointments. They used that power to pick the MOST ANTI-GUN democratic senators and instal them all on one committee that reviews ALL gun-related laws. Result: ALL pro-gun bills were killed by that committee. See why politics and party matters ? - and it is downright foolish to believe the "we are a single-issue advocacy organization" Hope the recount goes our way - but I am not counting anything out.

Hopefully this leads to some form of Castle doctrine. My State Senator won unopposed (D), Delegate stayed the same (D), and lost Commonwealth's attorney due to split voters, and lost the district supervisor seat that the R's have held for probably more than a decade. I need to move. |

I need to move. No, hopefully it doesn't. I'm so fucking tired of people in Virginia, and VCDL to the extent it's involved, pushing the Castle Doctrine issue when we already have no duty to retreat anywhere. If you codify a "castle doctrine," all that is going to do is create a distinction between self-defense in the home and outside the home and make it harder to defend people who act justifiably outside the home. Codifying anything of the sort is a terrible idea. Leave it alone. Broadly speaking, the Virginia elections went well, though there were some localities (Henrico) where the local offices didn't do so well. |
