1/ Orientation for people not up to date on the Virginia GOP election integrity effort.
We took a LOT of assets away from VA Dems. They aren't going to recover from this.
Here's some of what they lost:
2/ First thing they lost was the ability to cheat behind closed doors
Following the TVP "Eyes on Every Ballot" initiative, the VA GOP went from 33% to 95% observer coverage - 100% in deep-D areas - in one year.
They didn't get to record a ballot without GOP eyes on it.
3/ They lost the game in the courts.
The GOP was prepared with lawyers on election night; no swindle got by them.
Elias' now-legendary losing streak started with us stopping him.
We fought for and won every legal stipulation needed to enforce our rights.
4/ Zuckerbucks are no more
now illegal in Virginia
the goosing of Democrat turnout through an alleged charity - with which they still lost in 2001 - is gone
this alone is a big deficit for VA Dems to make up
5/ We hold the state executive offices
Our team WON A MANDATE to enforce election integrity - they clearly ran on this in the campaign
They are democratically empowered
and we get first all on the state's position in a Dillon Rule state
6/ We're taking over the electoral boards
As terms roll off, our new GOP Governor's appointments will shift these boards from majority Democrat to majority Republican.
An inexorable unstoppable process that will continue for four looooong years, minimum. (It will be longer).
7/ We took away their ability to abuse re-confirmation of judges by taking the House of Delegates.
No longer do judges have to weigh the prospect of retaliation for giving the GOP a fair shake in the courts.
8/ We've taken away Central Absentee Precinct mass mail-in abuse.
It's now the law that CAPs have to provide voter precinct breakdowns. They can't get away with impossible numbers like they did in 2020.
9/ We've taken away the "black box" nature of the drop boxes.
TVP's own Ned Jones won in court the right to real-time transparency in where and when votes are coming in.
Soon we'll be rid of them altogether.
10/ Embarrassed to have gotten this far in without stating it, but the first accomplishment before all others was cleaning half a million bad entries from the voter rolls statewide.
The "fake voter pool" is being evaporated with sunlight.
11/ I could continue further, but I think you get the point
we did unbelievable damage to the Democrat machine in Virginia
they're not coming back from it
and it's only going to get worse
12/ addendum
not exactly election integrity per se
but putting a candidate up for every seat won us the state house
and we had a campaign in every district independently checking election integrity
13/ if you're a Democrat strategist how do you recover from having all this happen in one year
one year
where do you even start to make up for the damage taken
where do you even start staunching the damage still being done
this is their nightmare scenario
