Early voting turnout hits record numbers in Virginia

Record numbers of Virginians are voting early and requesting absentee ballots this year, as the coronavirus pandemic and newly loosened election laws reshape Old Dominion voting habits in a presidential year.

Some 100,356 voters have cast ballots in person since early voting began

Friday, while 884,032 have requested absentee ballots, state elections officials reported on Wednesday. In all of 2016, just under 353,000 Virginians opted for early in-person voting and about 185,000 voted absentee by mail, according to an analysis by the nonprofit Virginia Public Access Project.

Voters in three solidly blue Northern Virginia congressional districts, where President Trump is deeply unpopular, have requested the most absentee ballots, led by 140,465 requests in the 8th District, which is represented by Rep. Don Beyer (D).

That’s nearly triple the 48,191 ballots requested in the bright red 9th District in the state’s rural southwest, which Rep. H. Morgan Griffith (R) represents and Trump carried by 19 points four years ago.

“The great thing about Virginia is, you have no idea who’s requesting these ballots,” he said, noting that voters do not register by party in the state. “It could be every single Republican in those [Democratic] precincts requested those ballots.”


In any case, March said that Republicans are more inclined to wait to vote until Nov. 3. “Republicans are more likely to vote in person on Election Day,” he said. “That’s the sentiment I’ve gotten.”

  1. How can anyone seriously believe voting matters? Really, one has to be insane to think the elites are going to give people a vote.

    Mark Twain wrote, if voting mattered they wouldn’t let us do it.

  2. The early voting gives the demonrats plenty of time to change all the votes to demonrat.

  3. The election itself is a fraud.
    All of the candidates are frauds and come from the worst among us. They are all liars. Most have sworn secret oaths to secret groups of people and those oaths supersede any other oaths. All of it admitted.

      I agree 100%
      The politicians are mostly blackmailed because they are degenerates to begin with. Look at Epstein Island for example.

      Once they film you having sex with a child you sort of have to do what they say.

      Barry was blackmailed because he was a closet homosexual just like Dubya

  4. Early voting invites fraud by revealing a count of how many fake votes are needed to counter Republican votes, especially mail-in ballots are being destroyed and replaced, fact.

  7. There are reports in Wisconsin that boxes of absentee ballots found in a ditch. So I'm guessing they are republican ballots. Hell. Even absentee ballots won't make it to the POST OFFICE. PEOPLE MUST VOTE IN PERSON TO HAVE IT COUNT. DON'T BE LAZY. If you mail in your VOTE?? It won't be COUNTED.

  9. If you can stand in line at Sam's Club, Walmart, Food Lion, etc, etc then there is absolutely no reason you can't stand in line to vote. Do not listen to the governor or his imbecile supporters.

  10. The ballot mail in system has been shown to be fraudulent and should be thrown out

  11. Take it to the board of elections to be counted. You don't have to use the mail.

  13. I just received my "official election" mail which tells me how to vote by mail in Delaware.

    It was returned to me damaged and you can see where they sent it to the yellow sticker (ripped off) where it was returned. The words "fwd" were written in ink on the envelope. The funny thing is that my address was correct and other mail got to me. Hmmm???

  15. I have voted for 3 presidents now. Ironic how I've never heard of this claim of ballot fraud until Trump. If the Democrats cheated so much, why haven't all presidents been Democrat? If he were this persistent with Russian election interference I might take him seriously. 4:41 a.m. I can stand in line anywhere I choose, I can also order from the internet the same as I can mail in my ballot because it's legal and it's my right. If absentee ballot can be used by Trump, I can use it as well. He goes to Florida and golfs all the time so why can't he go to vote in person? Seems to me you people do a great job at calling people sheep and cheaters when your own party is doing the cheating with trying to suppress votes because Trump is losing in the polls. Sheep blindly follow what Trump says without any facts to back it up. His own intelligence agencies, postmaster etc have all said there is no wide spread voter election. He needs to accept his loss if it comes to that and stop trying to incite violence. We already have enough of that. I've never seen people so enraged that you delight in the thought of killing people who don't agree with your beliefs or look like you and you call them the animals. The world is changing, get used to it. If Trump has anything to do with it, he'll kill us all with racism, hatred and sheer stupidity.

  16. 11:23. Thank you for saying perfectly all the things I've been thinking. I've now voted in 8 presidential elections (twice by absentee ballot) and never once had a concern about being cheated. Trump's own task force on voter fraud was disbanded after they found NO evidence of widespread or organized voter fraud. Trump's attacks on mail in voting are unfounded and dangerous. As for who is trying to rig the elections, one need only look as far as Red state Republican officials who are responsible for dramatically decreasing the number of polling places, filing court suits to restrict mail in ballots and absentee ballot counting guidelines and generally doing everything in their power to make it harder to vote.

  17. I plan to vote in person on November 3 and to respond back to 11:23AM, ever since Obama came into the picture, our great country started to change (for the worse) As a matter of fact, Obama was the worst President in our history and thank the Lord, Trump became our President four years ago to turn our country around (MAGA) and only because of the "man made" virus from China changed the entire world....not just the US. TRUMP 2020

    The real answer is that if the dumbocrats didn't cheat there would NEVER be dumbocrat presidents.

    You lefties live in you close communes and think the whole rest of the world thinks like you.
    Well guess what. Look at any national election results map by district, you lefties are WAAY out of touch with this country.
    NOBODY WANTS YOUR LEFTIE RETARD POLICIES!
