From the research I've done there is no mechanism to remove a candidate from the ballot after early voting has begun. The steps one has to take to retrieve a ballot once early voting is underway also make it nearly impossible. 
 

The candidates for Governor and LT Governor have publicly condemned the action. There is no mention of him when they do interviews, make appearances, etc. recent mailings that I've received don't mention him.

Once again, the person who released the texts kept them for 3 years before releasing them. Until after election ballots and early voting had started. That's  a desperate move by the Republican Party. It's also says a lot about Jones' opponent  IMO. 

Just one more little tidbit on the Va Atty General race. Jones’ opponent in a former talk show host, John Reid. 
During the race Va Governor Glenn Youngkin and other prominent Republican’s urged him to drop out of the race.

The reason, Reid is gay. There are some controversial things on his Tumblr account.

Sears has been very quiet about this, as had the rest of the ticket since the primary

My question is, if you are a fundamental conservative MAGA Christian, who do you vote for

Which one wanted to kill their opponents children, so they could feel the pain?

National Academy of Sciences: A comparison of political violence by left-wing, right-wing, and Islamist extremists in the United States and the world

The right wing in the United States has a problem with political violence. Period. They have a recent problem and a problem that extends out throughout this country's history.

Trump divides the country, makes people angry and then Maga morons say look at all the angry people! Ignorant racists should crawl back under their rocks where they belong. Deport Maga to Russia would be even better.

If I lived in Virginia I wouldn't vote for Jay Jones personally. I'd avoid voting straight ticket Democrat as I would leave the AG's spot on my ballot blank or vote for an independent or Green Party candidate for that one. I also think he should have been dropped by the Virginia State Democratic Party from their list of endorsed candidates. It's too late to replace him on the ballot legally I'm guessing, but the party could have unendorsed him. I find threatening to kill someone or threatening bodily harm against a person disqualifying for an individual who intends to be the state's "top cop" or "top attorney" so to speak.

No no no no, you’re getting this all wrong. When confronted with iniquities, whether it’s Jay Jones on the Democratic side or the hundreds and hundreds on the Republican side, you double down, double down, and then double down some more. That’s the only thing your adversaries respect. Otherwise they just roll their eyes and regard you as a

**** Cheney died.  I'll bet many of you have different views on him than you did before the schism within the GOP over Trump.

Slightly.   We did welcome him to the resistance.

One of the biggest black marks on the history of the United States was our unlawful and immoral invasion of Iraq. **** Cheney deserved to die in a prison cell in the Hauge for the war crimes he and George DubyaMD Bush committed. The War in Iraq itself was a war crime, based on fabricated and doctored intelligence. Over 4,000 American servicemembers and some 200,000 Iraqi civilians needlessly died all so an oil company Cheney was affiliated with could get no-bid contracts and access to. And Bush could feel like he got revenge for Saddam attempting to kill his father. A war of greed and revenge that stole the lives of far too many human beings.

On top of that, you have a President and Vice President who condone the practice of torture on human beings. From waterboarding to hooding to rape to the use of aggressive dogs towards human beings, the Bush Administration authorized the use of torture. These techniques yielded little reliable intelligence that they were intended to get and left a stain on America's image around the world.

I am not a religious person and don't believe in a heaven or hell. Were they to exist though, I can tell you where **** Cheney belongs. The world would have been a better place had Cheney never been Vice President and George Bush President. Sadly, that was not how history played out. In the end, an evil man died at peace in his home.

I wouldn’t say I have different views of him now than I did during the criminal administration he was part of, but I will say I miss the days when it was he who was the apotheosis of evil.

I was thinking about a thread titled "Why are there so many sex pests in the GOP?" but its sort of part of the lunatic thing.

They love the power.  The country club locker room culture is fully extant. 

Then there is the twisted gay/anti-gay culture in the GOP.  

I mean, Stuart Stevens wrote about this quite a few times.  He called it a "pink mafia".  

I was going to riff on the difference between Billy and grandson Franklin Graham and it turns out they both are full of weird sex stuff.   https://medium.com/belover/the-secret-sex-life-of-billy-graham-669734837461

I dunno...maybe the GOP needs to come to terms with some things.

There’s a good reason those closeted gay Republicans appear so publicly anti-gay. It’s related to the reason closeted people who are ashamed for being gay gravitate toward organizations that are the most vocally anti-gay, and the more shame they feel for being gay, the more violently they act out publicly, and the more crazy they behave privately when they go on a gay bender.

I am amazed at the amount of log cabin maga within my social circles. The dissonance is astounding.

As long as it helps a criminal syndicate, Trump will comply. Birds of a feather and all, dontcha know.

Carville was pretty interesting on his latest pod with Al Hunt.  Basically, he's telling the GOP that they need to be prepared for the 2026 wave because the Dems are keeping records of all the corruption.
