Virginia: 436,000 new voters, 40% under the age of 25

[Popeye]

This can mean nothing but good news, that's almost 175,000 new voters under the age of 25, the overwhelming majority support Obama, particularly when you factor in the under 25 female representation. Take notice also, that the biggest gainers in registrations were cities...more good news.

Virginia now has more than five million registered voters, a new record, as the deadline for registration for the fall election closed on Oct. 6th, according to the Virginia State Board of Elections.

The total number of registered voters in Virginia is now 5,021,933.

Since January, Virginia, a swing state this cycle, has experienced a net gain of 436,000 new voters, including what they call an "onslaught" of new voters in the last week of registration.

Nearly 40 percent of the newly registered voters across the state are under the age of 25. Trends show that, regardless of age, females represent the majority of new registered voters.

Among the biggest gainers were cities:
-- Williamsburg: Nearly 20% increase
-- Richmond: More than a 17% increase
-- Arlington County: More than a 14% increase
-- Hampton city: 15.4% increase
-- Charlottesville: 14.6% increase
-- Fairfax County: 9% increase, but that means 61,000 new voters
-- Fairfax City: 7%

Oh NO!!!! You can't purge FAKE voters from the rolls... that wouldn't be "Fair" and you'll be accused of "voter suppression" for expecting only VALID voters casting ballots!

Purge Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Tony Romo and any and all fraudulent registrations...we're talking about 436,000 new voters, I doubt that ACORN is responsible for but a small percentage. Anyway, polls show Obama's lead in VA growing..you can't hang that on ACORN.

Polls are based on the number of registered voters (not actual voters) so when ACORN uses fraud to bolster this number, the Pollsters OVERSAMPLE democrats and its reflected in the polling. Besides.... they tend to poll LESS THAN 750 people per poll, not even 1% of the electorate.

Obama is currently ahead by double digits is states totaling 245 electoral votes

He is ahead by 5%-9% in states totaling 44 more electoral votes

And he is ahead by under 5% in states adding up 68 more electoral votes.

Do the math..he only needs 270..if I were you I'd be real concerned.


as for counting on the Bradley effect...it seems to have disappeared

Why? Are you going to make us sew yellow stars on our clothing... ship us in cattle cars to "Progressive" Camps where we're either sent to the "Showers" or forced to labor for the Common Good?
