Some Kind of Twitter Thing in the Virginia Attorney General’s Race?

This is probably one of those silly things everybody will forget about later, but liberals have been trying to steal the Virginia Attorney General’s election from Republican Mark Obenshain and were using Twitter to do it, or something. Virginia is just a damned shame and while there has been endless finger-pointing among Republicans, perhaps someone should […]
