So an off year but still some important races going on. Virginia has their state legislative elections today. This will be important when it comes to redistricting Virginia after the 2020 census. A democrat majority could ensure no gerrymandering fuckery.
Also we have governor elections in Louisiana Mississippi and Kentucky. Mississippi looks to be a lock Republican. Kentucky should be a lock Republican, except Bevin has repeatedly shot himself in the foot by attacking teachers. Which in a lot of rural areas, is a large source of jobs. But Bevin has been running a lot of ads about guns, abortion, and Trump. Ever since then his numbers have been growing.
If there is a prayer in removing Moscow Mitch in 2020, it begins with the elections tomorrow. Not only that but Kentucky’s AG race is closely contested. In one corner we have lifelong democrat politician and former KY AG Greg Stumbo. In the other corner we have Daniel Cameron. An African-American, who clerked for Moscow Mitch, and is clearly a Moscow Mitch sycophant. I legit tried to google his age but couldn’t find it. He did graduate high school in the same year I did, which puts him at 33.
All that to say Daniel Cameron actually scares me more than Bevin. Moscow Mitch is clearly lining Daniel to be his eventual replacement. Makes deplorables so happy to say “I’m not racist, I voted for Daniel Cameron.” Also I am scared of another term of Bevin without a Democratic AG. Apparently KY has had a democratic AG since 1944. Repubs have gone all in trying to turn this today.
Also go Louisiana. Apparently they have been solid since electing a democrat for governor. Except for car insurance rates?
Oh I hope I’m wrong. I’ll be voting straight Democrat today.
