virginia always has off-year elections. this year, this odd-numbered year, is the big election year in the big purple state of virginia, and the election this year in virginia has been getting weirder and weirder and weirder all year long, not just because of who the republicans have picked to run this year, but also now because of what else is going on in republican politics outside the election itself. for context in terms of who the republicans picked to run this year for governor, you may recall they chose the guy that is defending virginia's ban on gay people having sex. for lieutenant governor, they chose the guy that says yoga makes an empathy vacuum of your soul, which satan is, quote, happy to invade. for attorney general, republicans chose the guy who wanted you to report any possible miscarriages to your local sheriff within 24 hours. not kidding. those are the people hand picked by virginia republicans at their big virginia republican statewide conference this year to run in this year's big statewide election. t
