Bombshell Filing Shakes Up Closely Watched House Race– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

A new court filing claims that a Democratic Party candidate in a tightly-contested, GOP-controlled race for the Virginia House of Delegates doesn’t live in the district she is seeking to represent. The stretch run shakeup could have massive implications on control of the Virginia State House, as Democrats are currently favored to hold on to their slim majority next month.

Three voters in Stafford County have filed a court challenge alleging that Stacey Carroll, the Democrat candidate in Virginia’s 64th District, actually lives in the neighboring Democrat-majority 23rd. The complaint seeks to have Carroll removed from the ballot.

Plaintiffs Stephen Schwartz, Judith Anne Parker and Juliet Schweiter alleged Carroll continues to live near US-1 in Aquia, Virginia, at the southern edge of the 23rd district. She does so, the plaintiffs alleged, despite filing to run for a race about seven miles southwestward near Stafford Court House, Virginia, in the 64th, Fox News reported.

Excerpt:

Despite Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears’ considerable deficit in campaign contributions (largely due to unending news reports of past polls showing the GOP candidate for Virginia governor trailing by double-digits), the race is now within the margin of error.

Acknowledging that polls are only as accurate as the pollsters’ guess on demographic enthusiasm and the honest responses from those people being called, the most recent Virginia poll shows the same thing as New Jersey’s gubernatorial poll that we reported on last week. In the Garden State, Democrat candidate Mikie Sherrill had lost her 20 percentage point lead and was tied with Republican Jack Ciattarelli.

The Virginia poll, conducted Sept. 26-28, has Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger still ahead, but by 3%, 48%-45%, against Earle-Sears—within the margin of polling error.

For comparison, in September 2021 during the last Virginia governor’s race, Nexstar/Emerson had former Democrat Gov. Terry McAuliffe ahead 49%-45% against the ultimate winner, Republican Glenn Youngkin. A Monmouth University poll that same month showed similar results, with McAuliffe leading 48%-43%.

… Now, in a new Quantum Insights poll of likely voters, the Ciattarelli-Sherrill matchup gets even more interesting. Sherrill’s lead is down 10 points from Labor Day, and she only maintains a lead of 2.3 points, within the margin of error. With just a few weeks left in the contest, there is plenty of time for Ciattarelli to move the race into a statistical tie, and even surpass Sherrill.

Among independent voters, Ciattarelli has increased his lead by 13 points, the most significant shift in the race since it began. Ciattarelli holds 51 percent of independents versus Sherrill’s 38 percent. In the poll question on which candidate voters trust to deliver for New Jersey, it is an even split: 50-50 for each candidate.

House Election Provides Needed Vote for Epstein Files Bill– www.dailysignal.com

House Election Provides Needed Vote for Epstein Files Bill– www.dailysignal.com

Excerpt:

After a Democrat special election victory in Arizona, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky is declaring victory in his push to force a vote on the release of additional files on the now-deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Democrat Adelita Grijalva emerged triumphant in the Arizona’s 7th Congressional District special election to fill the vacancy left by her father, Rep. Raul Grijalva, who died in March.

Grijalva’s victory will likely provide the 218th vote necessary to force a vote on Massie’s bill to compel the federal government to release all of its files on Epstein and his sex abuse, which Massie says implicates powerful individuals.

Massie, alongside Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., has spearheaded a discharge petition, a special legislative tool used to circumvent House leadership and force a vote.

The petition currently has the signature of every House Democrat, as well as Republican Reps. Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, and Nancy Mace of South Carolina.

Grijalva told CNN that the Epstein files issue was important on the campaign trail.

The late Rep. Raúl Grijalva’s (D-AZ) daughter is expected to sail to victory in Arizona’s special election Tuesday, slimming Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) razor-thin majority and likely forcing a House vote on Jeffrey Epstein’s case files.

Adelita Grijalva is poised to beat Republican Daniel Butierez in a race to fill her father’s 7th Congressional District seat, marking the second special election this month. She won the crowded Democratic primary with many endorsements from both Arizona Sens. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with those on the progressive Left, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

Raúl Grijalva died of complications from cancer treatments at the age of 77, just two months after having begun his seventh term in the House. Adelita Grijalva is seeking to finish her father’s term, a situation similar to when the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee died and her daughter, former Rep. Erica Lee Carter, finished her term.

The special election could be a turning point in the release of more files related to Epstein, the deceased convicted sex offender.

Spanberger has 49% support among registered Virginia voters compared to Earle-Sears’s 40% support, according to a Sept. 9 poll released by Virginia Commonwealth University’s L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs. Two months prior, Earle-Sears had 37% support. Spanberger’s percentage remains unchanged.

The latest results suggest that while Earle-Sears has been slowly closing the gap, it may not be enough to overtake Spanberger less than two months before Election Day. Early voting in Virginia’s gubernatorial election begins on Friday, Sept. 19.

Less than half of independent voters, 48%, remain undecided about the race.

Pollster L. Douglas Wilder, the Democratic governor of Virginia from 1990 to 1994, said the election will be determined by independent and undecided voters. He also stressed the national significance of the state race this election cycle.

“With Virginia and New Jersey being the only states holding elections in November, there is much speculation as to what these results portend for the political landscape, not just for the Commonwealth, but across the nation,” Wilder said.

The poll shows other Democratic candidates leading their Republican counterparts.
