Voters Reject Government Overreach, but Leftists Won't Listen

It's pretty fitting that voters elected Glenn Youngkin as governor of Virginia on the same night that the Atlanta Braves won the World Series.

In the most horrifying revelation, Loudoun County school officials covered up a sexual assault in a high school alleged to have been committed by a teenage boy who already had been accused of a sexual assault months earlier in a girls' restroom of a different high school.

The Youngkin victory is notable, since Virginia went for Joe Biden in 2020 by 10 points and Republicans hadn't won a statewide race there in 12 years.

Virginia's election results are a repudiation of liberal overreach: on woke school policies, on mask mandates, on vaccine mandates, and on a variety of other governmental transgressions that McAuliffe supported and Youngkin opposed.

In a renunciation of the Defund the Police movement, election night saw voters reject a proposal to dissolve and transform the police department in Minneapolis, epicenter of the rioting that spread across the country following the death of resident George Floyd in police custody.

What voters in all those places rejected was an overreach of government at all levels-federal, state, and local.

In response, voters won their own World Series on Election Day as well.
