Sure there’s no fight for congress, and the Presidency is now a year away, and my own local election consisted of filling in boxes for judges and borough representatives. But that doesn’t mean there weren’t important elections yesterday:
1) Ohio voted overwhelmingly on two measures. One granting the right to abortion and the other legalizing marijuana. Now the GOP dominated Ohio legislature is expected to find ways to delay and limit the implementation of these measures.
2) In Virginia, Governor Youngkin had hoped to secure all parts of the state government so he could start restricting abortion (he had run his campaign saying he would not do so). Polls seemed to indicate he might get his wish. Instead Democrats won control of the general assembly.
Pundits had been convinced that Biden’s dropping poll figures would translate to rejection of the Democratic Party as a whole. But these results are showing that polls may not mean much any more and that when there’s a hot button issue on the line (I.e. abortion) nobody really cares what the President’s policy on the Gaza Strip is.
So anything interesting locally in your region’s elections?
