I'll be damned if I can find anything about who voted how.
Pretty sure that Petersen and Deeds both voted no, but not sure who the other two were.
this is the mistake a lot of gun owners make; thinking this is a win. how do you win something you already have? you don't. all that was done was to preserve a small portion of your rights while they chiseled away yet more of them elsewhere. its been pointed out how three anti 2nd bills have been passed... this is a loss, three times. stop taking beatings from your master then thanking him when he stops because he is tired.Not a perfect win, but a win none the less!
Now, wait for a watered down version or piecemeal bills...
There are no state elections in Virginia between now and then. If you insist on lecturing those of us who actually live here, at least understand the election cycle.you have now one year to try to get some more pro 2nd folks in office. no more taking things for granted and sitting on your ass griping about votes don't count.
I knew enough when I lived there (in Nova) to vote the right way instead of letting the state GOP letting seats go uncontested.There are no state elections in Virginia between now and then. If you insist on lecturing those of us who actually live here, at least understand the election cycle.

not if while fighting off the car thief his buddies steal all my yard maintenance equipment.If someone tries to steal something from you, and you stop them, would you not consider that winning the fight?
But you forgot how the Virginia election cycle works.I knew enough when I lived there (in Nova) to vote the right way instead of letting the state GOP letting seats go uncontested.
I don't remember nor do I keep up with it's particulars, as I haven't lived there in 15 years... but when election time came around I voted every time. that can't be what happened the last few cycles. the state lost the house of reps, then the governor's mansion, then the state senate to the democrats, back to back to back. the won't happen here crowd now has ptsd.But you forgot how the Virginia election cycle works.
None of this is correct.I don't remember nor do I keep up with it's particulars, as I haven't lived there in 15 years... but when election time came around I voted every time. that can't be what happened the last few cycles. the state lost the house of reps, then the governor's mansion, then the state senate to the democrats, back to back to back. the won't happen here crowd now has ptsd.
that's even worse...., but I guess that's just what's in store for Virginians. if only the fervor displayed on January 20th would have been there in the previous elections....None of this is correct.
Virginia has elected a Democratic governor the past two times -- in 2017 (Northam) and 2013 (McAuliffe). In fact, Democrats have held the governorship for four of the past five terms and seven of the past 10, which goes back almost 40 years.
The House of Delegates has been controlled by Republicans since 1999 and didn't flip until 2019.
The Senate has also been controlled by Republicans since 1999 with two exceptions: 2007-10 was Democratic and 2011-14 was evenly split, then the Senate went back to Republicans in 2015.
2019 5,628,035 registered to vote , 2,383,646 voted =42.4% Virginia election in 2019...I don't remember nor do I keep up with it's particulars, as I haven't lived there in 15 years... but when election time came around I voted every time. that can't be what happened the last few cycles. the state lost the house of reps, then the governor's mansion, then the state senate to the democrats, back to back to back. the won't happen here crowd now has ptsd.

I guess it works!! Seems a lot more at stake in 2019, if you read all the reaction to that election, now(little late, BTW), 'not enough with a 'genuine' interest??..but still very low turnout.Just to be clear, Virginia has elections in off years precisely for that reason -- to limit the participants to those with a genuine interest in state politics, rather than to include drive-bys who show up primarily to vote in federal elections.
In 2016, about 3.75 million people voted (well more than a million more than in 2019).
