Argggh!

The state board of elections results site is down.

It is where I get the local race results. I want to see if Tracci is getting his incompetent butt kicked.

The school boards are very important to me as well. We are trying to get the racists out.

the 96th House race.

Mark (Dr. Downey) lives 6 houses, as the crow flies, from me. Wonderful guy; so sorry he lost but this is a repub-voting, military area.

Mark lives in the house he grew up in. Yonnie, you know the neighborhood.

He came awfully close.

We did well in the local elections here. Not in my precinct though

I suppose Robert Bell will (not) represent me in the VA house for the rest of my life.

4. I had no idea he was your neighbor, Duppers. We voted for him yesterday and am sorry he didn't win.

He's an amazing person, so approachable. Was my son's local pediatrician years ago. He heads QL's pool committee & always teased us about not joining the pool members. The neighborhood is filled with retired military but even they had "Vote Mark Downey" signs out! And we all were hoping he'd win -- his losing was a loss for Virginia.
