In South Carolina, according to the University of Virginia historian Michael F. Holt’s book “By One Vote,” voter turnout was an absurd 101 percent.

Tick bites are nothing new, but since about 2008, researchers have been studying a red meat allergy that comes from a lone star tick bite. “It became increasingly clear that ticks and tick bites were going to be an explanation for why you could all of a sudden have people who their whole life could eat red meat, or in some cases dairy, and not have any problems,” said Dr. Jeffrey Wilson, an assistant professor of allergy and immunology at the University of Virginia.
Kyle Kondik, communications director at the University of Virginia Center for Politics, said the investment from the NRCC is a sign that national Republicans are worried about the race, but as long as Trump carries the district by a substantial margin, Good will likely come out ahead. “The danger for Good is that the district is closer at the presidential level and he underperforms,” Kondik said.

With Albemarle County’s “Johnny Reb” statue gone, activists have returned their attention to five other local monuments they say are “symbols of oppression.” “This is one object that needs to be removed,” Charlottesville activist Don Gathers said Saturday morning, as he watched crews work to take down the monument formally known as “At Ready” from the Albemarle County Circuit Courthouse lawn. “There are still five more.” The owners of those five monuments — the city of Charlottesville and the University of Virginia — have plans to either remove or make changes to each of them.
