New data shows Gov. Glenn Youngkins push to encourage Republican voters to cast their ballot before Election Day is working.
According to the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP), more Republicans are voting early ahead of this years General Assembly elections than in years past.
According to VPAP, Republican voters are responsible for 38.7% of the in-person, early voting across the state. Thats an 8% increase compared to the same time in 2021 the last time Virginia held statewide elections.
The fact that there is even some measurable uptick suggests that he is making some inroads, that this effort is successful, said Rich Meagher, Professor of Political Science at Randolph-Macon College.

(743 posts)I think Virginia is drifting more red.. Not saying its total Red, but a lot of areas going more red than before.

(20,966 posts)If Mark Warner decides not to run in 2026, Youngkin might jump in. He's limited to just one term as Governor in Virginia. Luckily, Sen. Tim Kaine is popular so he won't face much opposition in 2024.
