Hello, I just wanted to report what I saw when I voted in-person absentee here in Loudoun County Virginia.
When I got to the polling site at about 5:30 PM today there was a light but steady stream of voters. the lone lady outside the Senior Center was handing out Democratic sample ballots.
The only signs were either the official polling signs or Democratic ones for Clinton/Kaine or LuAnn Bennett.
There was absolutely no Republican signage or campaigners visible which I found odd since:
1) There are only three in-person absentee voting sites in Loudoun County
2) Being located on the Loudoun County/Fairfax County line, we are the most densely populated part of the county
3) LuAnn Bennett is locked in what appears to be a tight contest to unseat Republican incumbent Barbara Comstock (a seat held by R’s since at least 1980). We have been flooded with ads for both sides for weeks which is fairly new for our district, at least at this volume.
I found this both surprising and encouraging. Once I got home I donated to Bennett again.
Help her turn this long time red seat BLUE!! secure.actblue.com/...
