Dominion’s Involvement in Governor’s Race Greater Than Previously Thought

Back in October, Bacon’s Rebellion wrote in detail about a $200,000 donation by Dominion Energy to Virginia Accountability PAC, a benign-sounding but nefarious super PAC determined to keep Glenn Youngkin out of the governor’s office by any means necessary.
