They Put the Statue Removal to a Vote in Two Virginia Counties and Guess What Happened?

This last Tuesday, Virginia had their elections.  I was so glad to see the Republicans do so well.  The new governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general are all Republicans and it appears that Republicans took back control of the House of Delegates.

And, then I found that two Virginia counties actually put the removal of Confederate statues to a vote.  I was very surprised that the Democrats and their black allies would do this after the results of the vote in the last election when six counties had a similar vote.

All six counties voted to leave the Confederate monuments where they were.  After that, I was sure the Democrats would never allow this to come up to a people vote and rely on politicians to make the decision.

When they put it to a public vote about whether or not to remove a Confederate statue, it would seem the majority of the people prefer to keep them where they are.  Which begs the question as to who the Virginia politicians are really representing, their constituents or special interest groups?
