Why would Republicans have this and not use it in general election vs Northam?

It wouldn't be too crazy. If that yearbook was like any I ever received, the index at the end with names and page numbers only sent you to the actual yearbook photo, not these type of "special" extra-curricular pages. For instance, I was in several photos from a school trip throughout my yearbook, but next to my name in the index it just had "page 53" which was my actual yearbook photo.

You also aren't taking into account that he's made a lot of waves the last week or so and drawn a lot of attention to a position that normally isn't in the national spotlight. All it takes is one guy across the country remembering he went to med school with the guy all over the news right now and digging out his old yearbook to show his wife or buddies.

Either way it's surprising the Rs didn't have it during the election, but it wouldn't be a huge shock if it was simply buried in time.
