Also, the guy in front of me in line was a caricature of an old guard Republican. Accountant, grumpy about his lack of viable alternatives (I live in one of the bluest districts, all choices are made at the primary level), complained about ballot debt sale items for funding infrastructure and said something to the effect of, "Why don't they sell some bonds to tear down some shit and build better golf courses? I'd vote for that!" (that was the second time he brought up how much he likes golfing while we were waiting in line), complained about Virginia's weird vehicle property tax rules (which I can kind of get behind), and did it all while wearing clothes and a hat that would not have been out of place at a country club.
