Election Day 2019 Thread

A very minor election that happened in Virginia is amusing.
The new supervisor for the Algonkian District in Loudoun County, Virginia is Juli Briskman, the woman on the bicycle who was photographed flipping off Trump's motorcade in 2017.

Turns out flipping off Trump is a good thing.

Has there been any indication that Clinton's accusation holds any water?

I don't think she is a conscious, deliberate Russian Asset, but a lot of her foreign policy actions are very troubling and would benefit Putin.. Like her praise and cozying up to Assad.
I think she is just pretty naïve, and a "peace at any price" person.

It's just really weird how popular she is with the Alt Right. And other things, like how she tends to run down other Democrats and repeat Republican talking points.

Personally I'm agnostic for now. We'll find out eventually if she decides to run as a third party (or independent) candidate, after repeatedly saying that she would never do that:

Why Don't You Believe Tulsi Gabbard?
 
Matt Bevin concedes:

After Recanvass, Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin Concedes Race To Democrat Andy Beshear

After last week's bitter race came down to about 5,000 votes, Beshear declared victory, but Bevin pointed to unspecific and unsubstantiated instances of "significant irregularities" and claimed without evidence that "thousands of absentee ballots ... were illegally counted." The fact that Republicans won every other statewide constitutional office on last Tuesday's ballot also cast doubt on the idea that there was some type of conspiracy afoot.

But now Bevin says he will not further contest the results, which could have thrown the contest into chaos. That option would have given the state legislature, where Republicans have the majority, the potential to decide the outcome of the race.

Instead, Bevin pledged to assist Beshear, who will take office next month, and said he wished his successor well and that he wouldn't be "publicly undermining or second-guessing" the Democrat's administration.
