Saturday, in all places, the workers said it was just kind of slow, but always a trickle. 2020 was the pandemic so no one was going in person. Plus, Virginia is very much not a swing state now so no ads or sense of urgency. Lots did vote the first weekend. Last thing, Election Day is a day off and we kind of know now that there won’t be lines. Maybe this is a blue state state, but sure not the heady days of Obama.
