The other thing is the insane electoral process. RVA has 9 districts. To win today, someone must receive the majority of the vote in 5 of 9. If no one wins 5 of 9, the top two POPULAR vote getters go to a runoff in a few weeks which again is a first to 5 district race.
5 districts are hugely AA and 3 are white and one is a toss-up. Morrissey has 4 districts in the bag, and Berry probably has three. Morrissey is competing with Berry in one and Stoney for another. Realistically, only Morrissey can win tonite but you can get the bizarro scenario where he's left out of a run-off because Berry will run up huge margins in the white districts and Stoney will finish 2nd in every district.
The Stoney and Berry camps are claiming they will win any run-off against Morrissey because his (almost entirely lower-class AA voters) will not show back up for a second election.
It's absolutely wild, and Machavellian, and just filthy as hell.
