US Midterm Elections 2018 |OT| Babs is Surging
- Thread starter Midnight Jon
- Start date
It would be funny if they make a big deal of it when they ignore Trump's record.
seems like is was 400 or so ballots
and there may still be as many as 27k other provisional ballots that need to be verified?
sounds like they will be verified "later tuesday" so we might have some answers tonight

though I imagine no matter what happens more lawsuits are going to be filed.
Just curious has this...

...had any measurable impact on the Mississippi race. I know Espy is doomed but has there been any kind of dip for Hyde-Smith whatsoever?

CA also flipped two long time republican Central Valley districts in the State Senate (in favor of two Hispanic women, no less). Gives the state a democratic supermajority in both the state senate and state assembly, in addition to democratic Gov in Gavin Newsome. Come try us, you orange fuck.
Looks like CA-39 will flip as wellKATIE PORTER HAS TAKEN THE LEAD IN CA-45
People were celebrating 50% turnout this election. 50%...in the "shining beacon of democracy" in the most hotly anticipated and closely watched race in a lifetime.
Every vote counts. If we have this excitement in 2020, we are golden!
And I think we will. The last two years on repeat, except, Trump will be extra cranky because he's actually going to be be told no and probably having to deal with legal issues throughout. If two years of Trump can lead to a mid-term with presidential election turnout, good god 2020 will be amazing.
"Well they won by hundreds of votes so they didn't need me anyway."
Republicans even have the James Bond villain with an eye patch.
So anyone think Mississippi might flip to D after the runoff and we get another Senate seat?
Not a chance. Espy almost lost the first election with two Republicans splitting the vote.
I want to believe.
Year 2100. Florida finally changed to Purple.
No wait! It's underwater, it's still red.
Im.not entirely sure about how far right Crenshaw is but I did see some ads here locally attacking him before the election from pro GOP groups. The ads themselves compared him to Obama lol
The GOP should be ashamed of themselves, but they have no shame. All going according to keikaku...

The Democrats even have Jesus on their side.
Notice if you go to most of the major news sites, probably all, none of them have their election pages easily available anymore. It happens every time. They've moved on, even though this stuff can carry on for days if not weeks. Which of course they have, not knocking them per se, but it gives an impression this stuff all wraps up in 24 hours tops. I can't even get Google's results pages to pop no matter what I search for and they were pretty much impossible to avoid searching for anything close to results day of.
Keep it in mind for when it happens again in 2020 and people are besides themselves that we haven't suddenly devised a way to solve the myriad issues of situations that need to be accounted for in voting in such a way that we have 100% accurate reporting the microsecond the polls close.

Kamala's floor is second place in the primary
I literally cannot conceive of a world where she becomes third or less.

Went to this lady's page and it was literally one click to get to #StopWhiteGenocide's feed. Fuck I hate Twitter.
I am glad that a "young" Kim won, that is Andy Kim! Hope Gil Cisneros pulls through as well. So happy at the prospect of all of OC going blue. Katie did amazing as well, great person for the district. I am so excited for 2020, I want this momentum to keep going. Remember we select the candidate at the primary levels, so vote primaries too.
Yes. And if people have problems with Pelosi or anyone else not being progressive enough, support candidates to the left of them in the primaries! At worst, that candidate loses, but may force the incumbent to move left on certain issues. Especially in the Bay Area, NYC, and other metropolitan areas, this is a way to force safe democratic areas to move more left.
Exactly, I hope many people see what voting can do now because of these results, and take the initiative from step 1. That is how we make our voice heard.
Gil Cisneros has also taken the lead over Young Kim with the updated vote totals. It's happening.

I guess they should change the name to Blue County! Thank you. I'll be here all week.
Katie Hobbs (D) declared winner in Arizona SoS race!

Saw this earlier, congrats. Big dem pickup for sure. Looks like State Senator District 28 might come down to the wire depending n how many votes there are left.
I don't think people here have been arrogant. If anything, I feel many have approached this in a very chastened manner. And in the aftermath, I think we'll continue to be as focused going into 2020.
In the meantime, raise a glass. Take a load off. And above all else, drop a chicken!
EDIT: I was really hoping I could post this song to ERA members from Brazil after the Brazilian elections but in wake of the results I felt that it might be best to shelf this theme for the time being. Wish I could have dropped this for Beto O'Rourke. Oh well. Congratulations blue wave! Now onto 2020.

The AP calls CA39 for Democrat Gil Cisneros, defeating Republican Young Kim. That gives Democrats +37 in the House
5 seats remain undecided, and one seat called for the GOP (CA21) is now considered a toss up by some experts

The conservative media ecosystem blasted the mainstream media for not immediately writing about the historic victory of Young Kim...who looks like she might well lose.
