The Virginia Republican Party did a good job of monitoring the fraud but a poor job of campaigning this year. I had three Democrats come door-knocking in my neighborhood and zero Republicans. (I should have done some door-knocking myself; lesson learned.) If we had been campaigning as robustly and vigorously as Democrats--with the assurance of victory to empower us--it would have been a ten-point Republican win. Most voters are soft-minded centrists. They'll vote for whomever's name they see more often or whomever someone they trust tells them to vote for.
