Virginia Republicans meet today â sort of â to pick their nominees for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general. Itâs safe to say this will be the most unusual and most unpredictable the convention the party has ever held. How do you hold a convention during a pandemic? Hereâs how: Convention delegates will go to one of 37 drive-in sites around the state to cast their ballots. Thatâs not even the most unusual part of the process: Virginia Republicans will be using ranked-choice voting, which means Republicans delegates will list their first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh choices for governor.
