All I'll say is that if NJ voters are dumb enough to elect a GOP governor after everything they've seen from Trumpers since January then they deserve all the pain and shitshows that will surely follow. Voters anywhere have no excuses whatsoever if they vote Republican after what we've all seen since January. They actually had no excuses dating back to 2016, but at this point you've got to have your head stuck in the sand and live in an alternate reality to believe anything any Trumplican says in any state.

That Jay Jones fellow must be a narcissist to have continued in the race. Or did the rules not allow replacing him on the ballot?

If I remember correctly it was too late for him to be taken off the ballot. At least VA Democrats look set to sweep pretty much everything else, but if Jones loses that would be a bummer.

I’m not bummed if Jones loses.

He deserves to lose.

If I lived in Virginia, I wouldn’t vote for him. I wouldn’t vote for his Trumplican opponent; I’d leave the AG line empty.
 

What early voting data says about NYC, Virginia and New Jersey elections​



“… In New Jersey, Democrats have turned out at a higher rate than Republican voters in both mail and early in-person voting, putting the Democratic candidate for governor, US Rep. Mikie Sherrill, in a stronger position than Harris was last year at this point. Harris eventually won the state by about 6 points.

Through the end of Thursday, registered Democrats led registered Republicans in mail ballot returns by over 41 points, a couple of points better than the 39-point gap at this point last year. But unlike last year, Democrats also hold a nearly 2-point lead in in-person early voting. Last year at this time, Democrats trailed in in-person voting by 2 points.

Mail ballots also represent a larger portion of the pre-election vote so far. As a result, registered Democrats represent a larger share of the total pre-election electorate than they did at this point last year.…”

“… A CNN analysis of early voting data from the New York City Board of Elections has found that through October 31, about 53% of registered Democratic voters (55% of all voters so far) are ages 50 and up, while almost 16% of Democratic voters are ages 18 to 29 (15% of voters overall).

That’s more weighted towards older voters than the total Democratic primary electorate, when about 48% were 50 or older and about 18% of voters were 18-29, according to data from L2….

… The geographic distribution of Democratic votes has also been more favorable to Cuomo than it was in the June primary, with turnout strongest so far in precincts where Cuomo did best and relatively weaker in strong Mamdani areas. The most Cuomo-friendly precincts have cast 125% of their primary early in-person totals while the most Mamdani-friendly precincts have cast 85% of their early voting totals.…”

Latest poll shows tight NJ governor race as Obama set to rally for Mikie Sherrill

A new poll shows a tight race for the New Jersey governor's mansion as ex-President Barack Obama is set to rally Nov. 1 for the Democratic candidate.
www.usatoday.com www.usatoday.com

Democrat Mikie Sherrill had a slight lead over her Republican rival, Jack Ciattarelli, in the AtlasIntel poll released Nov. 1. The poll of more than 1,600 likely voters in New Jersey from Oct. 25 to Oct. 30 showed Sherrill getting 50.2% of the vote compared to Ciattarelli's 49.3%, with a 2% margin of error.

The idea that, after 10 months of the Trump Clown Show and the clear and blatant erosion of our democracy and the literal occupation of blue-voting cities, only 57% of voters in Democratic counties are still bothering to vote - and that their turnout is still lower than Trump counties overall - is depressing. Still, as long as the slightly higher turnout in Harris Counties and slightly lower turnout in Trump Counties helps the Democrats win I'll take it.

The democratic voters don’t know those things are happening. The vast majority of people don’t pay attention to politics.

I believe the reason we have gotten where we are is not because we, collectively, have taken a hard right turn. Rather, it’s based on apathy. Part of it is based on apathy toward getting out and voting and another part of it— perhaps the bigger part— is apathy toward staying informed.

Yeah, Im not about to let miyares stay in office. Allowing Miyares to be AG will effectively negate Dem votes for other offices as he refuses to enforce or actively sues to undo Dem policies. He has also cost the state billions by not suing over Trump’s wrongful impoundment of funds designated for the state. Jay Jones is an idiot but considering Paul Gosar is still in Congress despite him posting a video of him violently murdering other members of Congress, im not about to let my state suffer for Jones’ stupidity.
