The special election for the seat formerly occupied by the late Sen. Yvonne Miller will be held September 4. Unless I’m missing something, the only candidate on the ballot will be Kenny Alexander. (Seems to me there should be some mechanism for calling off an election when there is only one candidate.)
Polls will be open from 6am to 7pm. The district encompasses precincts in both Norfolk (list here) and Chesapeake.

What happens if no-one votes?
I always vote and I intend to go vote for Kenny. To bad you tea baggers don’t have anyone to vote for, huh
Not really. A republican would not get elected there. “There ain’t no point in talkin’ when there’s nobody list’nin'” (Rod Stewart)
Why?
Please, the man doesn’t even bother to spell-check his campaign page: http://electkennyalexander.com/
No one checks their spelling any more–not Democrats, Republicans or independents. News people certainly don’t. In Hampton Roads, they never have. Even before I moved here, I remember reading a biography of the Wright brothers that pointed out that the Pilot misspelled Wilbur’s name when they broke the first flight story.
Correct. There are some seats that are drawn so one-party there’s no sense in the other party spending any money there.
I guess he still wins.
And yes, they have to hold the election – just in case there are write-ins.
I like a man that can misspell a word every now and then. It drives people like NARCELEB nuts.
It just shows his ignorance and indifference. He probably assumes those who vote for him won’t or can’t read it anyway.
