It is Friday, October 15th, 2021 and we are 19 days from election day in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As of 10/13/2021, 326,781 Virginians have voted and that is 5.81% of eligible voters in the Commonwealth. Although likely Democratic turnout is certainly higher, by double than likely Republicans in raw vote the total overall vote is still very low. We have seen growth in the 18-29 & 30 – 39 Age Ranges but all other numbers have held. However, we have found that Virginia early voters support their community by donating financially as well and it shows in the numbers see below for the breakdown. The Commonwealth of Virginia does not have party identification by voter registration in the voter file. So, in a state like Virginia, L2 models party ID by primary ballot selection and L2 modeling.
