With polls opening across the Commonwealth at 6 a.m., Virginians choose a new governor today as term-limited Terry McAuliffe’s four-year administration comes to an end.
It’s expected to be a close race between Democrat Ralph Northam and Republican Ed Gillespie, but if we look at the record books, we might already have an idea of who wins. (No, not really. This is just something I came up with while sleep-deprived on the way to work one day.)
I’m not talking about polls or endorsements from decades past. I’m talking about the (bowl eligible!) Virginia Cavaliers’ performance in their last football game before the election, à la the Redskins Rule.
