Former Virginia Del. Jay Jones (D) was projected to oust incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) in the race for the state’s top law enforcement spot on Tuesday, staving off a texting controversy that dogged his candidacy in the campaign’s final month.
While the race was always considered one of the more competitive statewide contests in Virginia this cycle, it was roiled in its final stretch by resurfaced violent texts sent by Jones in 2022 about then-state House Speaker Todd Gilbert (R).

Ok this might be the funniest result of the night by far
opticscels btfo as usual
This was my Super Bowl
I saw the texts and voted for him anyway
I sent in my mail ballot before the texting scandal broke but still would’ve voted for Jones even if I hadn’t.
You can’t put a grifting tax dodging insurrection inciting rapist con man in office, ignore his every scandal for a decade, and expect me to give a shit about somebody making a tasteless off-colored joke based on an Office reference, sorry.
