Virginia has certified its 2020 election results:

Biden 2,413,568 (54.1%)
Trump 1,962,430 (44.0%)

That's a 4.8 point margin swing against Trump vs. 2016 and a 12.0% increase in votes cast. https://cookpolitical.com/2020-national-popular-vote-tracker

1. how come trump isnt having the va legislature down for a chit chat so they can flip their vote?

[sandensea]

2. Because, fortunately, it's Democratic-led

Part of Blue Wave that's been the centerpiece of politics in the commonwealth since McBribell's fall from grace (as well as the real estate collapse at the end of the Bush era, which hit N Virginia particularly hard).

Otherwise, I'm sure Cheeto would try it.

3. just sayin. he aint a jr rocket scientist.

4. Oh, I'm sure he asked

"Why can't we get Virginia to just give me their electors, McEntee?"

"Because, Dear Leader, the Assembly down there has Democrat majorities in both houses."

"Really? Where is Virginia anyway?"

5. that is how i imagined it too.

6. Yeah. Cheeto's nothing if not predictable.

Wonder where he'll try to flee once he realizes the election really is over.

My money's on Brazil. What do you think?

7. Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas are moving in the same direction

similar demographic changes along with type of industry that tends to favor democratic leaning views . And everything else that goes with it.
