So why does McAuliffe need to talk to Bidan?
My guess is something didn't go as planned. Similar to Clinton loss in 2016. Say this is correct; good guys stopping the election day fix would also be tracking McAuliffe. McAuliffe takes them directly to Bidan.
Add to that, rumors about Pelosi not running in 2022.
Was a trap sprung?
Do dems say fuck it and give it to McAuliffe via ballot harvesting anyway? What's does 3 more years of Bidan/Heels look like if the pubs have taken VA? Last Chance Saloon territory.
