US Midterm Elections 2018 |OT| Babs is Surging
- Thread starter Midnight Jon
- Start date
I think Washington might get one lean R to flip, that is Cathy McMorris Rogers in the 5th.
Another big intiative is I-1639, which is a pretty comphrensive gun control bill.
It appears benchmarkpol is still kicking around so I will definitely be following his account

Does the half Hindi, Decesdent of Sam Houston have a shot in his Texas race? The guy that speaks 7 languages and went to UT-Austin before going into the foreign services?
I think it's going to pass as well. The carbon tax and soda tax might be harder issues to figure out how he State will go
Dunno man Hillary should have campaigned in Texas, rigged DNC and all that.
I don't have to work on Wednesday, so I guess I will watch CNN during the night. The time shift is a little bit unfavorable for us Europeans. Would be great if the Democrats win the majority in both chambers but I'm not so optimistic. But I guess Trump will have a harder time after the midterms.
I think he's sent some money to the state party instead of directly to other candidates.
Gonna vote this weekend with my family. Missed out last weekend because of a cold.
It's been 8 years since Voldemort became Governor of Florida. We all know what we must do

That race (TX-22) is rated Lean R by Cook and Likely R by Sabato. It's actually one of my picks for a possible sleeper flip.
Scared shitless. We are either going to be a constitutional democracy or an authoritarian fascist state in a week's time.
And the scary thing is, THAT ISN'T HYPERBOLE.

Callin' out the defeatists in the OP, I love it. I did my part for Ohio already, early voting started several weeks ago and I went on day one. Bring on the 6th, we got this!
Also the NCRR has funneled an absurd amount of money into her race for no real gain at all. Its just a sinkhole of money that could have went to shoring up a republican with better chances.
Sorry, but as a German I usually know the result of most election in the states pretty early. Not like the final results, but polls usually give a good impression how the elections will turn out. Aren't there such polls in the US states where the majorities are at least probable to switch in favor of democrats?
Live in NJ. Requested an absentee ballot by mail after mailing the request out last week. What did they send back? A sample ballot instead of an absentee ballot. Now I'll probably have to go immediately after work on Tuesday.
Me too. Well, I emailed it, because in Washington you can email a scan/photo to them if you are living overseas.
Washington State (King County, specifically) had some cool things on the ballot, such as stronger restrictions on obtaining guns, and deescalation training for police officers.
There are 500+ districts, so obviously not all have been polled. But yes, senate races for instance are quite heavily polled (with some exceptions). The OP has all the information I think. As it stands: Dems are bound to lose ND. They might also lose MO (too close to call) and have decent chances of flipping AZ and NV (both also very close).
Obama and Oprah both campaigning this weekend for Stacey Abrams in Georgia this week. Will Ferrell went door to door. The latest poll had her up by 1 point. She needs to win not a runoff, with the libertarian out the mix it's going to be a tougher win, so very nervous.
Hey OP, rather implying that what we do now is wait, could you instead encourage people to get involved and help carry us across the finish line? Donate, volunteer, and vote?
Thanks for the answer. Yeah, the OP might have all information, it is just very hard for someone not living in the US to understand. But maybe I just take it that the 85% chance to take the house is based on all the information available and not question it any further.
Voted early today in NC. The six measures they put on the ballots are all written in such glowing terms, but pretty bad measures. At least they made it easy to just say "vote no on them all"
I also have a weird voting tic of not voting when there is only one candidate. Even if they're from my party. I guess my thought process is that without a choice, they didn't really earn my vote.

Beto is probably going to lose. That said, the fact that his campaign forced Republicans to spend tens of millions of dollars and lots of time defending a seat in Texas is already a win. Not to mention raising Beto's profile for future prospects and all the excitement and new voters he's bringing in.
I know I'm a little late to the party, but excellent job OP. Complacency is the absolute worst response to the current crisis. Voting is so important. There's an old anarchist saying: if voting were actually meaningful they'd make it illegal. Well guess what? They are. Voter ID and other disenfranchisement methods mean that if you abstain from voting this election, you're essentially spitting in the face of those who can't.
