On a more optimistic note, this is a painful (but relatively harmless) reminder to Virginians to participate in elections and elect better officials.
Unfortunately, people vote out of anger more often than they vote out of gratitude. Something low-stakes like this going wrong is going to ultimately increase engagement without any lasting damage. Yes, it's a slippery slope, but Virginia isn't slipping rapidly down it (yet).
