They're getting desperate...
The campaign said a young woman working for Project Veritas posed as a Democratic volunteer and spent every day over the past several weeks in Spanbergers suburban Richmond campaign office, performing basic office tasks and peppering her office mates with questions that eventually raised red flags.
Campaign staffers on Wednesday confronted her and asked her to leave, a video released by the campaign shows.

Republican strength in the district has been waning, with victory margins shrinking. GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney won the 7th District by 11 percentage points in 2012. Trump won it by six points in 2016. In the 2017 governors race, Republican Ed Gillespie beat Democrat Ralph Northam there by less than four points.

These are the peeps / firms supporting the rethugs and their completely corrupt regime. They helped him get elected because they want a white christian USA, and all minorities / LGBT gone. They know they are in the minority and can't win by themselves, so they BS their supporters and try to executive privilege their "platform" (spell that d.o.g.m.a.) into law. So far, one - ONE - bicameral passage of a law has occurred, with the rest of their laws passed by executive fiat.
