Hi everyone. There's no music. There are no bells and whistles. It's just me, Andrea Chalupa,

co-host of Gaslit Nation. This is a special, extra urgent Gaslit Nation news bulletin for

anyone, anywhere around the world who has friends, family, co-workers, acquaintances, old flames

who can vote in Virginia.

The governor's race this Tuesday is extremely close.

The race is between former governor, Terry McColliffe, who promises to protect voting rights,

to protect abortion rights because abortion is health care, and McCalliff promises to

invest in building a robust green economy to create jobs and reduce emissions.

His opponent is Glenn Yonkin, a straight-up Trumpist who pushes the big lie using

subtle tactics, but they're no less harmful. He attacks critical race theory as well as mask and

vaccine mandates that will finally put an end to the pandemic. If he wins, you better believe he will do all that he can, along with other Republicans on the ground,

to steal Virginia for the Republican Party in the 2024 election, ensuring Democrats lose the White House.

Virginia, after years of progress, could go the way of Greg Abbott's Texas, Iran-Dissontas, Florida, and other voter-suppressed states.

We cannot let that happen because our entire democracy hangs in the balance on Tuesday, and a fallen America impacts the world. So tell the Virginians in your life to vote

on Tuesday like all our lives depend on it because they do. This has been an urgent Gaslit Nation

newsbreak and we'll be back with our regular show on Tuesday. Thank you.
