Just what Virginia’s already low turnout needed: The National Weather Service has “issued a flash flood watch for Arlington County and surrounding areas until 11:00 p.m. tonight. Rainfall between 1 and 1.5 inches may occur.” (Right now, it’s sunny.)

If you didn’t know better, you would think someone upstairs is rooting against the two candidates who are counting on a big turnout in Northern Virginia.

UPDATE: And maybe the turnout’s not that high elsewhere, either: “I did some Operation Chaos primary voting at my precinct in Short Pump, in the western part of Henrico County (west of Richmond), I was the 29th voter for my half of the alphabet.” (It’s the first half.)
