Early voting kicks off in Virginia with abortion as major issue for voters [View all]

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Early voting has kicked off in Virginia with every seat of the General Assembly on the ballot this fall.

On Friday morning, it got off to a calm start at the Virginia Beach Registrar's office.

Democrats held a small rally outside to discuss the issues they find important this year.

"Reproductive freedom is on the ballot," said Michael Feggans, the Democratic nominee in the 97th House of Delegates district. "Support of our public schools and education is on the ballot. Making sure we're taking care of our veterans is on the ballot."

Republicans were supposed to hold a rally in Suffolk on Friday afternoon with Gov. Youngkin, but the Tropical Storm Ophelia caused a cancellation.
