Electile Dysfunction (Current students plz look!)

The thing about the NRA is, they spent less than half in Virginia during the last midterm, and this off year election, than they did in the previous election. I am not near the fan of them I was, say, 15 years ago, but they did have an ability to mobilize votes. I don't know why they didn't spend this cycle; whether they are as corrupt as it seems like they might be at the top, or if they already consider Virginia a lost cause, I guess we'll find out how much pushback comes along.
Virginia also lost a court case, and the D's got to redistrict earlier this year. I haven't looked closely at which districts flipped and which didn't and see if there is any correlation there. All that is to say, I am not going to be too convinced of polling that says things like "70% of virginians" support this or that as it comes to gun control, unless it has the caveat "of likely voters in districts x, y,z"

Also, I hope you Fairfax county folks are ready for bussing. The more relevant local elections - we now have a board of supervisors, and a school board, which is ready to mix the kids up based on socio-economic diversity. They are all in on the "one fairfax" plan, and recently installed a "Chief Equity Officer." So fuck me for scrimping and saving to be able to buy a house in the Langley school district - it's looking like my kid will probably get sent to Herndon HS instead. "North Reston" is probably going to get the same treatment (some of which is in Langley) That's approximately "half as good" of a high school, for paying twice the property taxes, if you're keeping score.
