VIRGINIA ELECTION RESULTS: Will Voters OK Spanberger’s Gerrymander? UPDATE: Network Declares ‘Yes’ Win

Posted on | April 21, 2026 | No Comments

UPDATE 8:49 p.m. ET: NBC News has just declared that “yes” will win the referendum vote in Virginia. Only 80% of the vote has been counted, but the remaining vote in Fairfax County and Richmond will be enough.

UPDATE 8:39 p.m. ET: Lead for “No” is less than 30,000 votes:

YES …………….. 1,197,131 (49.5%)
NO ……………… 1,219,875 (50.5%)
(76% of the vote counted)

This is starting to look discouraging.

UPDATE 8:14 p.m. ET: “No” continues to hold the lead:

YES …………….. 969,934 (48.0%)
NO ……………… 1,051,768 (52.0%)
(64% of the vote counted)

The margin keeps tightening. Fingers crossed.

UPDATE 7:59 p.m. ET: With more than half the vote counted, “no” is now leading by more than 90,000 votes:

YES …………….. 794,155 (47.2%)
NO ……………… 887,372 (52.8%)
(54% of the vote counted)

The lead is now narrowing, percentage-wise. As more urban vote comes in, expect it to become very close.

UPDATE 7:44 p.m. ET: Even wider lead for “NO”:

YES …………….. 568,383 (45.5%)
NO ……………… 681,792 (54.5%)
(41% of the vote counted)

BTW, it’s nearly 2-to-1 “no” in Louisa County.

UPDATE 7:34 p.m. ET: “NO” is gaining ground:

YES …………….. 424,523 (47.3%)
NO ……………… 473,156 (52.7%)
(30% of the vote counted)

Now leading by more than five points — encouraging.

UPDATE 7:24 p.m. ET: Getting results quick tonight:

YES …………….. 183,280 (49.5%)
NO ……………… 187,151 (50.5%)
(12% of the vote counted)

UPDATE 7:14 p.m. ET: The first numbers are in:

YES …………….. 29,862 (48.1%)
NO ……………… 32,275 (51.9%)
(3% of the vote counted)

You can’t tell anything from these first returns. Be patient.

EXPECT FURTHER UPDATES . . .

 

* * * PREVIOUSLY (6:46 p.m. ET) * * *

 

Polls close at 7 p.m. ET tonight and within hours we will know whether Virginia voters have approved a referendum that would redraw the Commonwealth’s congressional districts from their current alignment (6 Democrats, 5 Republicans) to give the Democrats a likely 10-1 advantage. People who have followed the process whereby this measure got to the ballot have assured me that it is unconstitutional on at least three different points, which would mean a court battle if the “yes” vote wins tonight, but it would be far better if the “no” vote wins — a direct repudiation of this nefarious scheme by Gov. Abigail Spanberger and her Democrat accomplices in the legislature. As regular readers know, I traveled to Louisa County last weekend for a “Vote No” rally:

“It’s unfair, it’s unconstitutional and it’s illegal,” Second District Rep. Jen Kiggans said of the referendum, expressing an opinion shared by many Republicans who have noted what might mildly be termed procedural irregularities in the way the redistricting measure made its way onto the ballot. (See David Catron’s February column, “Redistricting Betrayal in Virginia,” for more about that.) In her speech to the courthouse rally here, Kiggans mentioned the uphill battle she fought in 2022 to win her seat in a competitive coastal district that includes Virginia Beach. Kiggans would almost certainly have no chance to be reelected in this fall’s midterms if the redistricting referendum passes, and the same is true of McGuire, despite the fact that he carried the fifth district by a 15-point margin in 2024.
The map Democrats would inflict on Virginia is a Frankenstein monster, and what it would do to Louisa County is a nightmare horror story. Currently, the fifth district is geographically coherent, covering a wide area west of Richmond down to the North Carolina border. Under the proposed new map, Louisa County would be shoved into the Seventh District, the shape of which resembles a lobster, its head and two claws pointing southwest (Louisa County being the elbow of one claw), and its tail reaching all the way up to touch the Potomac River in Arlington County. From its southernmost point in Powhatan County to Arlington, this mutant district would span more than 130 miles and, with its westward lobster claw, also reaches over into the Shenandoah Valley to slice off parts of Rockingham and Augusta counties. It’s about 100 miles from one claw to the other, but in driving that distance along I-64, a motorist would travel roughly half of it through the proposed new sixth district.

The early vote — they have 45 days of that in Virginia — was reportedly heavier in Republican-leaning areas, and there were reports today of continued high turnout for the final voting today, but that’s anecdotal, and we won’t know the result until they actually count the votes. Spanberger won by a 15-point margin last November, and so the “no” vote has an uphill battle. We shall see what the evening brings.

UPDATE 7:05 p.m. ET: Earlier today, everyone on X was blabbing about projections based on reported turnout in different counties, and that’s a fool’s errand. This is a single-issue referendum — nothing else on the ballot — and it is impossible to estimate results based on the kind of metrics that (might) help predict a regular election. Based strictly on my own observation, it seems to me that the “no” campaign is more energized and motivated. Republicans have a greater incentive to vote against the redistricting than Democrats have to vote for the redistricting, and it’s hard for me to imagine most independents thinking, “Yeah, let’s just ignore the state constitution and redraw the map to give Democrats four more congressional seats.” That’s merely my observation, which doesn’t count for much, but some conservatives on X are just too pessimistic about what is likely to be a very close contest.

IT’S ‘STOP THE LOBSTER’ DAY!

Posted on | April 21, 2026 | No Comments

After I called it “Spanberger’s lobster” last week, many others have taken up that phrase to describe the crustacean-like shape of the district that Democrats would inflict on Virginia if today’s referendum passes.

By now, every true Virginian knows to VOTE NO in today’s referendum (if you haven’t already voted early) and Smitty yesterday weighed in from his perch in the blue part of the Commonwealth.

Every analyst expects the vote to be close. Polls close tonight at 7 p.m., and then we’ll see if the deep-blue precincts in the D.C. suburbs can manufacture enough fake “yes” votes to cancel out the overwhelming “no” from the more rural areas of Virginia like Louisa County.

VA’s 21Apr Vote: This Dog Don’t Hunt

Somebody I know who is credentialed in the art of surveying people (pharma, for drug trials) was unimpressed by then quality of the question on the ballot tomorrow in Virginia. After feeding Spanberger’s dirty diaper into Claude:

(Judge Hurley’s injunction)

Much has happened since the 28Feb Fairfax GOP meeting. One speaker offered an estimated 20% turnout. Early voting closed Saturday, and the the pre-election turnout for the redistricting question (1,358,628) indicates that the final turnout might rival the November 2025 gubernatorial (3,433,340).

I have lived in Northern Virginia and supported elections since 2012. I can tell you that the final tally here in Occupied Territory will be ~20+D, because Trump just hasn’t trimmed enough federal workers to help them get their minds right.

Tomorrow is a skirmish on the road to Making America Great Again. The career politicians (as well as bureaucrats and oligarchs who lurk in the shadows behind them) aren’t even trying to package the lies with any validity, per the graphic above.

Somewhere along the line, our republic turned into a Progressive golden shower:

‘Several Young Individuals’: At Least Two Dead in North Carolina Mass Shooting UPDATE: Not the Expected Victims

Posted on | April 20, 2026 | No Comments

Euphemisms are amazing, aren’t they? Perhaps you can think of some other phrases that would be more helpful in describing the likely participants in the situation that “escalated” into a mass shooting Monday morning at Leinbach Park in Winston-Salem, North Carolina:

Two people were killed after a mass shooting at a park in North Carolina on Monday morning, according to the [State Bureau of Investigation].
The shooting reportedly happened at Leinbach Park near, but not at, Jefferson Middle School in Winston-Salem on Monday, April 20. The school was placed on a “secure hold” on Monday morning, but that has since been lifted.
Police said the shooting escalated from a planned fight between “two young individuals.” During the brawl, several people “began shooting at each other,” resulting in “multiple victims,” according to officers.
Nearly two hours after the shooting was first reported, the SBI confirmed two people died and that “several” others were shot.
As of this writing, the conditions of those who were shot are unknown, and authorities have not announced any arrests. The Associated Press described the incident as a mass shooting.
Authorities urged the public to avoid the area “for now” and said parents who need to pick up children from nearby Jefferson Middle School may do so.

Are suspects still at large? Not known at this time.

Leinbach Park is in the suburban Mt. Tabor area of Winston-Salem, about three miles southwest of the campus of Wake Forest University. The park is named for the woman who donated the property to the city; her husband was a bank executive, a descendant of one of the earliest Moravian missionaries who first settled the Salem community in the 1760s. While it’s best not to speculate in the aftermath of a mass shooting, I have a pretty strong hunch that the “several young individuals” involved in the gunfire at the park were not Moravian.

UPDATE: Police have announced a press conference for 4 p.m. ET, which will likely give us some answers.

UPDATE 4:30 p.m. ET: During the press conference, police named the two individuals killed — both Hispanic males, ages 16 and 17. Five others were wounded, including three females, but their names were not released. The police chief could not say whether suspects are in custody, but did note that some of the victims may have also been shooters. The investigation continues. No more facts are known now.

Aspiring Rapper Update

Jalen Carpenter, a/k/a EbkCap82

“Gee, Stacy, is it really fair to post a picture of the deceased performer brandishing illegal firearms?” Perhaps, but good luck finding any pictures of Jalen Carpenter in which he is not brandishing firearms.

The image above is from the video for EbkCap82’s song “Zombieland 2,” in case you’d like to go enjoy that spectacle of substance abuse and threatened violence. Carpenter’s specialty was what is known as “drill” music, which is basically gang warfare with a beat — the rapper and his companions displaying stacks of cash, waving around Glocks with extended magazines, smoking weed, boasting of their felonies and threatening to murder rival gangsters. You know — urban culture.

So, there was a 911 call about domestic violence that led to an Illinois State Police pursuit on I-57 on the south side of Chicago. By the time troopers caught up with Jalen Carpenter, he was strolling down a sidewalk about two miles away from the Obama Presidential Library:

A man was killed in an Illinois State Police shooting in Woodlawn Wednesday night.
State police said troopers responded to a call for a domestic battery in the 6500 block of South Champlain Ave. just before 11 p.m. Police said the incident started on Interstate 57, and troopers chased the vehicle involved to the city’s Woodlawn neighborhood. When they arrived, they said they found an armed man at the scene.
Police said a struggle ensued and shots were fired at the armed man. He was struck and taken to a local hospital, where he died. On Thursday morning, CBS News Chicago spoke to his father, Stan Carpenter, who identified him as 24-year-old Jalen Carpenter.
But CBS News Chicago was shown surveillance video of the shooting provided by a source. In that video, you can see Carpenter holding a gun and restrained by an officer, when that officer’s partner shoots and kills him.
“He had so many bullets we couldn’t even see the body,” his father said.
The surveillance video shown to CBS News Chicago shows a man in white, who we are told was Carpenter, walking casually and alone down the street moments before the shooting. He appeared to be holding his phone.
An Illinois State Police vehicle then pulls up. Two officers get out, one carrying a flashlight, before a struggle begins.
There is no sound on the video, so you cannot hear if they are having a conversation. As Carpenter turns around, restrained by one of the officers, you can see him holding a gun, though it does not appear that he fired it.
The second officer gets closer, and moments after, they fire their weapons. Witnesses said the gun was fired four or five times.
“He has police officers in his family,” Stan Carpenter said. “We have police in our family and, you know, they killed my son.”
Stan Carpenter returned to the scene of the shooting on Thursday, saying he wants a full investigation into his son’s death.
“He took his last breath in the cold street and died alone,” he said. “I wanna see body cameras. I want—I want—I want to see the evidence.”
Stan Carpenter said his son was a father to a son who is almost 2 years old.
“I’m just, I’m hurt right now. My family is hurt behind this. He was a good kid, worked for Amazon, you know, made some mistakes in his life, and you know, he was, he was doing good, man,” he said.
Jalen Carpenter’s mother said he was the eldest of five children.
CBS News Chicago has reached out to Illinois State Police for more clarity, trying to find out why they engaged Carpenter and why they felt it was necessary to shoot and kill him. Illinois State Police would not tell us anything, saying it’s an active investigation.
At the time of the shooting, Carpenter was out on electronic monitoring for an alleged aggravated assault with a firearm in February. The case had not gone to trial, but court records show he was ordered to turn over his FOID card and weapon.
Police said a gun was recovered at the scene. No officers were injured.
ISP Division of Internal Investigation Special Agents are investigating the shooting. Illinois State Police said they will be turning their evidence over to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.

To start with, what part of “drop the weapon” do I need to explain here? When you are approached by police, it’s probably a mistake to be “holding a gun,” but as previously mentioned, Jalen Carpenter was always “holding a gun.” It was his way of life — urban culture.

Secondly, just two months ago, Carpenter was arrested for aggravated assault with a firearm and released “on electronic monitoring,” but was violating the terms of his release by carrying a weapon — which, based on the type of firearms he displayed in his videos, was probably a Glock with a “switch” and a 50-round drum magazine, meaning that he was in effect carrying a machine gun. He was a menace to society and, while we don’t know the details of the domestic violence call that led to him being pursued by state police, perhaps you understand my skepticism toward his father’s claim, “He was a good kid.” Maybe by Chicago standards?

In a recent list of Chicago’s most dangerous neighborhoods, Woodlawn ranked only fifth, and maybe it will drop another place or two now that Jalen Carpenter a/k/a EbkCap82 is no longer on the streets.

Guess Who Made an Interesting Point? UPDATE: Sarah Palin Explains Herself

Posted on | April 19, 2026 | No Comments

‘Air quotes’ by Nick Fuentes

Where do I start in explaining my hatred of Nick Fuentes? That this preposterous Jew-hating homosexual has been elevated to podcast royalty — the Pied Piper of 21st-century neo-Nazism — is one of those phenomena that makes me despair for the future of humanity. And I honestly fail to see what it is that makes Fuentes so appealing to younger people, but then again, I don’t understand the appeal of Ariana Grande or Sabrina Carpenter, either. A couple of months ago, during an hour-long podcast with “Christian nationalist” Joel Webbon, Fuentes did a lengthy smear-job on J.D. Vance, disparaging him as a phony, etc. Two of Fuentes’ talking points are just ripped off directly from liberals — first, that his “real name” isn’t J.D. Vance, and second, YALE! YALE! YALE!

To explain the first point: Vance was born James Donald Bowman in Middletown, Ohio — a classic Rust Belt locale destroyed by the post-1973 collapse of the U.S. auto industry. His parents divorced before Vance reached kindergarten and, when his mother remarried, she changed her son’s name to John David Harmel — for her new husband, Bob Harmel, and also to erase J.D.’s father’s name. All of this must have been traumatic for young J.D. He and his half-sister were largely raised by his maternal grandparents, James and Bonnie Vance, in Breathitt County, Kentucky. In April 2013, at age 29, he changed his name to James David Vance, in tribute to his grandmother (“meemaw”) who he credits with helping him escape his parents’ troubled background of substance abuse and broken relationships. There is nothing phony about that.

On the second point, Fuentes harps on the fact that Vance got his law degree at Yale, but never once mentions Ohio State University, where Vance got his bachelor’s degree (summa cum laude) in 2009. Vance attended Ohio State on the G.I. Bill after serving four years in the Marine Corps. But because Ohio State alumni aren’t generally regarded as “elite,” Fuentes just leaves that out of the narrative altogether.

Vance’s background prior to his enrolling at Yale Law was the tale of a hard-luck kid who succeeded against the odds. During his first year at Yale, one of his professors urged him to write about his life, which she believed highlighted an important aspect of American life that gets too little attention, i.e., the fact that most white people don’t come from a background of “privilege.” There are plenty of white people who have experienced the kind of problems that affected J.D. Vance’s childhood — economic hardship, family dysfunction, etc. — and yet nobody in America’s leadership caste seems to give a damn about the problems of white folks in Middletown, Ohio, or Breathitt County, Kentucky. In fact, it seems that our leadership caste actively hates white people from places like that and does everything possible to ruin their lives.

That 400-word introduction is necessary background to a tweet that Sarah Palin posted on Friday:

WHAT? Why would Sarah Palin post a four-minute video clip from that Nick Fuentes/Joel Webbon podcast? So I forced myself to watch it — a painful experience, as I can’t stand listening to Fuentes — and about two minutes into it, he gets to the part that I think Palin wished to highlight. Fuentes mentions something I hadn’t known, namely that in 2010-2011, Vance (under the byline J.D. Hamel) wrote a handful of columns for David Frum’s website, FrumForum. These columns were mostly dull expressions of the kind of moderate RINO stuff that Frum was promoting as “conservatism that can win again.” Dear God, praising Jon Hunstman?

At any rate, Fuentes called attention to an article that Frum wrote for The Atlantic in 2022, “The J.D. Vance I Knew,” in which Frum explained that he saw Vance as someone who could bridge the chasm separating the populist grassroots and the GOP Establishment. Because it is my habit to ignore Frum (just as I habitually ignore Fuentes), I hadn’t known about this Frum-Vance connection. In trying to spin this as some kind of conspiracy, Fuentes says that Frum believed Vance could “deliver the rabble-rouser Tea Partiers back into the hands of the moderate Republican establishment. . . . Because there’s this crisis where you have the Tea Party and Sarah Palin, and the Republican base is like ‘xenophobic’ and ‘Islamophobic’ . . . [and] the establishment of the Republican Party is like William F. Buckley, they’re very elitist, they’re very wealthy, they represent the corporate interests. The base, they’re populist, they’re extremely conservative. . . [Frum] says Vance’s ‘biographical credibility’ is what will deliver them [to the establishment].”

Fuentes gets a lot of things wrong here — Frum was criticizing Vance after the latter had won the 2022 GOP Senate primary in Ohio, with Trump’s endorsement, by rejecting the kind of Frum-approved attitudes that Vance had previously espoused. Here’s the crucial paragraph:

Vance’s superpower in those days (circa 2017) was his biographical credibility as he spoke about Trump America to non-Trump America. In talks at forums like the Aspen Institute, in an essay for The Atlantic, across elite tables at venues like the investment bank Allen & Company’s Sun Valley media conference, Vance urged understanding of the people who had voted for Trump, even as he excoriated Trump himself as unfit, bigoted, authoritarian, fraudulent — a deceiver and exploiter of the people Vance spoke for.

Frum has never abandoned his #NeverTrump stance, and his criticism of Vance is for “going with the flow” of grassroots Republicans — siding with the actual voters, rather than with the Aspen Institute elites.

The reason I think Palin tweeted that video clip was because Fuentes mentioned her as the original heroine of the current populist movement among conservatives. Frum didn’t mention her in his piece about Vance, but Fuentes did. While Palin didn’t offer any explanation for why she posted the clip, I imagine she sees the same basic problem that any intelligent person who has looked at Republican politics for the past 20 years can see, the conflict of interests between the grassroots and the “elitist” party establishment that, as Fuentes says, “represent the corporate interests.” This is most obvious in regard to immigration, where the Chamber of Commerce crowd wants de facto open borders to obtain cheap foreign labor, while the grassroots wants mass deportation.

The truth is still the truth, even if the person saying it — Nick Fuentes or David Frum or Donald Trump — is someone you loathe. And as for J.D. Vance, why should I condemn or distrust him for having abandoned his earlier Frum-approved establishment beliefs, when I wish everyone else (including Frum) would do the same? We are supposed to be living under a representative government, and yet Frum seems to believe that people who disagree with him don’t deserve representation. The beauty of our system is that candidates either have to advocate policies supported by a majority of the electorate, or else they can’t get elected. Donald Trump has won Ohio three times in a row — 52% in 2016, 53% in 2020, 55% in 2024 — and if Vance wanted to be elected as a senator from Ohio, he had to reconcile himself to that pro-Trump majority. The fact that he is a former critic of the president — well, so was Marco Rubio, who is Vance’s chief rival for the 2028 nomination, at least according to the pundits.

“You go to war with the army you have,” as the saying goes. The most zealous Trump supporters are not likely to trust either Vance or Rubio or any other Republican as much as they trust Trump, but there will be a primary campaign, and whoever gets the GOP nomination, that’s our candidate. The same people who, like David Frum, refuse to support Trump despite the views of a majority of Republican voters, nevertheless expect the grassroots to shut up and fall in line when a worthless RINO gets the nomination. But why bring up Mitt Romney now, huh?

Those of us who side with the grassroots — the kind of heartland voters who fell in love at first sight with Sarah Palin back in 2008 — believe that this is not only morally right, but also that it is the best hope for defeating the Democratic Party. The problem with most of the GOP “elite” is that they don’t actually want to beat Democrats the way Democrats deserve to be beaten — thoroughly, completely, and permanently defeated.

We may never get to that Promised Land in my lifetime, dear brothers and sisters, but let me tell you: “I HAVE A DREAM!”

UPDATE: Apparently, in posting a longer version of the Fuentes video earlier, Sarah Palin had provided more of an explanation, which wasn’t in the post with the 4-minute clip. So my old blog buddy Dan Collins asked for an explanation, which she gave at length:

Really? As I pointed out explicitly: the clip shouts out TEA Party energy and my involvement in the organic grassroots beauty of it. I’m proud of what we accomplished in awakening America to the uniparty agenda that’s atrophying the foundation and figure of our country.
Thus, I directed an audience to LISTEN to THAT point – to stay focused – and not cherry pick comments to use as ammo.
I pointed out the shout-out I received inadvertently compares the TEA Party’s pro-America; pro-freedom; pro-family & God; anti-big government; anti-endless war; anti-open borders; Drill Baby Drill solid platform with today’s chaotic nonsense permeating fake news and politics.
Funny, you can listen to any clip of any podcast and owe no one an explanation… as can I. So I do.
People are absolutely cherry picking around the point I highlighted. Typical. Predictable.
So, what’s the confusion?

No more confusion. Thanks, Governor!
