"Polymarket Virginia AG Race Miyares, apparently aware of the trend in voting, posted to social media urging Virginians to vote a split ticket. Dave's splitting his ticket. You can too, Miyares's post read. In the clip, Miyares then asks, Who's splitting his ticket? I voted already early voting, answers a man named Dave. I voted for Spanberger for governor. I voted for you for attorney general. Appreciate it, concluded Miyares."
Online betting market Polymarket flipped its projected winner in the Virginia attorney general race on election day, with Democrat Jay Jones overtaking Republican incumbent Jason Miyares midafternoon. Miyares led 59 to 41 percent at 10 a.m., but by 5 p.m. Polymarket showed Jones ahead 69 to 32 percent. Jones faced widespread condemnation after text messages emerged in which he fantasized about shooting the former GOP speaker of the House of Delegates. Jones weathered calls to withdraw and appeared to benefit from a broader Democratic surge. Miyares urged voters to split their tickets in a social media clip. Abigail Spanberger is expected to decisively beat Winsome Earle-Sears for governor.
