    Apologies for interrupting the Left Wing circle jerk in here.   Carry on.

  • Not "evenly", just well-gerrymandered to keep the GOP heads above water.

18 safe Dem seats in large states vs 4 safe Republican seats in small states. That popular vote is not good for Dems.

 

There are approximately 2.4 million more D votes in House races than R votes so far. Not sure why you're trying to adjust and unskew based on Senate races, it's completely unnecessary. Approximately all of the 435 House seats were up for election tonight.

Nah bro.  Democracy is dead.  Whoever is in charge of America is just holding the rope.  If the economy really falters and people start going hungry, that is all she wrote.  We don't have an FDR to save it right now.

Because that's what was circled in the infographic posted?

Not to be snarky, but millions of Americans go hungry every day.

Evers netted 30k from those uncounted votes. Boom goes the dynamite?

And?

The data is easily available. Your analysis based on the Senate votes appears to be contradicted by the House numbers. That's all I'm saying. It's not like it's a landslide but there are clearly more Democratic votes tonight than Republican votes.

Fuck yeah

walker is a piece of shit. I hope he goes down.

An interesting trend is liberal Dems winning a lot of House races wrt progressive Dems.

Return to normalcy in the party?  Moderates being a factor in the midterms?

So GOP will stack the courts and Dems will have investigation and subpoena power.

it's short-sighted to think of this as a one off battle. this is one of many. the deck was stacked against the Democrats from the beginning in the Senate. If you think that Trump will do anything but call this a victory and continue his divisive rhetoric I have news for you, he won't. Don't for one second think that this is over. No matter the outcome.

Millions?  Nope.  More like 100,000s.  But the guy who works at Panera Bread isn't starving, yet.  Look at it this way.  If I live next to you, and my kid is starving and you have food, you know what is going to happen.

Clark County (Las Vegas) just hit. Rosen nets 75K seats, pushing her into a ~57K lead. That seems like it's going to be tough to overcome given the lack of population centers remaining.

No, it's millions. Going hungry is widespread in this country.

Just got back to my hotel and catching up on the news.

  • Can't believe that DeSantis is going to win. That's insane.
  • Surprised that GA is not close. Too bad, the "voter suppression" arguments don't hold sway at such a large gap, but would if it were close.
  • Huge turnout in a non presidential election year, so that's a positive no matter which way you vote!
  • This board and this whole thing was lots of fun, thanks for letting me play! First time I voted since voting for Obama in 2008.

Party on, Garth!

Which the Republicans will use as ammunition in the 2020 elections.

No shit—Democrats had 27 seats (counting independents that caucus with them) up for election compared to Republicans having 8.

Fucking THIS!   In 2016 everyone was talking about the GOP getting a 60 seat Filibuster proof Super-majority in 2018.     We took back the House, will get off a hell of a lot easier than it looked like, even with a bunch of losses we'd hoped to avoid.   We dodged the bullet.  It could have been a fucking Little Bighorn, and now we get to investigate that shit of a POTUS, and the assholes who will defend him will answer to the rubes who may just realize they got taken.     

The House is going to be all up in Trump's ass, and no more treasonous partisan House protection in the many investigations to come.  

I'm spent. I want whatever Kornacki is taking. No, I don't. I wouldn't wind down until somewhere around Friday morning.

Except its not really.  At least starvation isn't.  And I work with the homeless.  Nobody I have met is full on starving.  Some of them avoid eating even though they have meals offered to them, however.

But I do live in a state where welfare is mandated in the state constitution.  I know y'all probably let kids starve down there, but I would expect that a kid would gnaw Ted Cruz' arm off before he just died of starvation.  And there are plenty of people fatter than Ted Cruz around for sustenance if it comes to that.

This is meaningfully different than when the GOP controlled the house?

In a way, its kind of good the Dems didn't get the Senate.  It would have allowed the GOP a dead cat bounce in 2020.

This is the right perspective.  A big step forward.  Rome wasn't built in a day, etc.  

Or we may just be circling the drain, Brisket style.  But I will call this good.  

Have to say, that FL vote count progression was like the WVU game.  You saw it coming, but, fuck.

Very.

Q is bizarre.

The alt right is virginal nazi geekery.

The Georgia gubernatorial race has actually tightened up a lot as the Atlanta votes have come in and they finally got everyone into the voting booths.

And according to the Abrams camp there are a lot of uncounted absentee ballots and shenanigans going on with provisional ballots.

In Georgia you have to get 50% + 1 to win or it goes to a runoff.

Kemp is currently at 50.8% with 99% reporting - according to Kemp’s office.

It’s not inconceivable that if the remaining votes to be counted are from heavy democratic areas and uncounted absentee ballots that Kemp hasn’t reached the required number.

This race is a prime example of why anyone who currently holds an office that oversees elections should be required to resign that position if they elect to run for another office. No matter what party.

Besides the terrible optics, it’s just a matter of fairness. And it removes the temptation for even seemingly innocuous actions to help yourself.

Even fundamentally honest people can be tempted to bend the rules to their benefit with so much on the line.

Hunger and starvation are two very different things.

Millions of people in this country go hungry every day.
