Holland coached the Cavaliers to two Final Fours, won the ACC regular season three times and the conference tournament once, all while having to go head-to-head with Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and North Carolina’s Dean Smith. That’s not to mention his work as Virginia’s athletic director and then special assistant to the university president. In those roles he spearheaded an $86 million expansion of football’s Scott Stadium and led the effort to fund and design John Paul Jones Arena. Holland deserves a prominent and permanent place of honor at the university.
Donald Trump is amping up his claim that the election is being “rigged” – and many voters agree. But actually, said UVA political science professor Larry Sabato, Trump is “lining up excuses for a loss: The media and the debate moderators were biased, there was voter fraud, the powerful international bankers were out to get him, etc.”
Alexandria registrar Anna Lieder says election officials provide a daily list of the specific people who have voted to the parties. That allows candidates and parties to target people who may be considering their vote at the moment. Geoff Skelley at UVA’s Center for Politics say it also allows door knockers to avoid people who have already voted.

The North American Menopause Society has submitted a citizen's petition to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration hoping to convince them to change the labeling on boxes of vignal estrogen, which has scared patients away from treatments prescribed by their providers. Dr. JoAnn V. Pinkerton, executive director of the society, said that it is important for patients to be monitored for certain risks, but not at the expense of preventing them from getting the best care possible.
When nationally acclaimed political analyst Larry Sabato hears about rallies in Virginia supporting Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and running mate Mike Pence, some of which have been headlined with the candidates themselves, he shakes his head. So when NBC News reported Thursday that the Trump campaign is "pulling out of Virginia," citing sources on a conference call late Wednesday, the UVA professor wasn't surprised at all, and basically wondered what took them so long. "If you read our Crystal Ball, you know we put Virginia in the Democratic column last Ma...
Donald Trump's campaign is reportedly pulling out of Virginia. News broke late Wednesday night that the campaign for the Republican presidential candidate was cutting funds to the commonwealth, and redirecting the money to other battleground states.

"I think the fact is Trump's campaign, apparently in all likelihood, seems to feel that no matter what they spend in Virginia it's unlikely to make things close enough to feel like they're going to have a shot. So I think ...
With growing signs in the polls that Clinton will prevail in the election, it seems almost inconceivable that Trump would acknowledge the legitimacy of the next president. “Yeah, a concession is hard to imagine,” said Larry Sabato, director of UVA’s Center for Politics. “Trump has already lined up his bad guys: crooked Hillary, globalists, the media except for Sean Hannity, voter fraud, and so on. His base won't accept his loss either. The Republic will survive, but we won't come together after the election.”
A new poll from Christopher Newport University shows Hillary Clinton's lead growing over Donald Trump in Virginia. "It's a pretty amazing situation because Virginia in the last two presidential elections has been sort of the bellwether of the country. Its outcome has most closely matched the national outcome in popular vote,” Geoffrey Skelley of UVA’s Center for Politics said.
As of now, the Keystone State is the steepest climb for Republicans of the four must-wins. Clinton sits with an 8.4-point lead as of Friday, and Trump hasn’t led in a major poll for months. Geoffrey Skelley, a UVA political analyst, pointed to a recent Bloomberg poll that showed Trump down by a margin of 28 points in the four suburban Philadelphia counties. With Clinton expected to clean up in Philadelphia and Trump looking better in the rural part of the state, those suburban counties are more important than ever.
