As a 35 year resident of Virginia, I could not be happier.

However, after moving from Northern Virginia to Central Virginia, I had serious doubts this was gong to pass.

Seeing comments from these rural folks on various social media (FB Groups I joined to stay up on local zoning, festivals, etc.), makes me really sad for this country and the utter lack of knowledge about our Government.

I know general Civics knowledge is horrible but I honestly did not think it was this bad. I would say 50% of the people posting don't really know the difference between the US Congress and the VA House of Delegates.

I also think GOV Spanberger is one of the most courageous politicians in years. Virginia Governors can't run for reelection so she is going hard and doing great things. However, this vote will probably doom her national prospects. Aside from the pure misogyny of this country, Thiel and other special interests spent millions on AI ads demonizing her, lying about taxes that were never passed, etc.
