Did those States Governors return voting rights to potentially 200 thousand convicted felons right before a Presidential election ?
Did Obama flood those States and communities with 10's of thousands of El Salvadorian " refugees " ? Virginia is Blue, they havent elected a GOP politicans since 2009
Northam relied on the same strategy Democrats have been using over the last 8 years to win ( lose ) elections
Identity politics and pandering while steering clear of substaive policy issues.
Northam had immigrant rights groups going door to door advocating against anti- sanctuary city laws and policies and Left wing activist groups canvassing neighborhoods advocating for medicare expansion to another 400 thousand Virginians.
That strategy has limited appeal outside of Blue State strong holds.
For example, when Wendy Davis tried it in Texas, Rick Perry crushed her in the Guberntorial race
There are enough informed voters out there who care about real issues affecting them and their families to maintain a GOP majority, and Democrats are mistaken if they believe Virginia's results are somehow a larger reflection of voter sentiments throughout the Nation
None of that say a thing about those 23 GOP House members running in districts that Hillary won. The House is in play in 2018 and guess which body can start impeachment proceedings?
