God Rains on Turnout

Let's say you're running a gubernatorial campaign in Virginia, and you want turnout in Northern Virginia to be relatively high. This is probably not the early-morning headline you want to see in the Washington Post: "Severe Thunderstorms Hit As Polls Open in VA." The story beneath that headline says that in some areas experiencing hail, radio stations are telling residents to stay indoors, presumably even if that van shows up to take you to the polls.

For whatever reason, it looks like God had some definite ideas about turnout patterns in Virginia today.
