Election Night (or days, or weeks, or whatever) 2022

[Majors]

If Murkowski in Alaska gets knocked off that is a success.

Tshibaka winning that is a huge step for Alaska.

On another note, I said we wouldn't find out anything else last night once it got really late and we didn't. The totals have changed some in the Nevada and Arizona races. I'm guessing the remaining vote favors the GOP candidates we just don't know how much. I think Georgia is a runoff but I haven't checked how those numbers changed this morning.

I don't know about the other states, but in Nevada, the remaining vote does not favor the GOP at all.

Mail-in ballots from Clark County that were received on Election Day have not even begun to be counted. That will be a huge vote surge for Masto.

... and aren't the majority of uncounted ballots, absentee/mail-in? Why would that favor the Republican candidate? Wouldn't it depend on the jurisdiction?

Herschel is a weak candidate but so is Warnock. The difference is the democrats would vote for a blind monkey if there is a D beside the name. Some of these candidates prove it. Hochul, Whitmer, Fetterman, Murray, etc....

Meh, the blind monkey statement can also describe how Republicans vote.

Look how many Georgia voters must have checked the box for Kemp, but not for Herschel. That is very telling about what a weak candidate he is.

He was a horrible candidate but of course most of them are.

Not like Herschel.

 

[GAVol]

But yet Warnock can't put him away. I understand the jab, but seems Ralph has his own struggles with voters. Not sure a run off is in his best interest against Walker knowing they could be the deciding senate vote.

The last 2 years, Warnock and Jon Ossoff were basically nothing more than political props that stood in against targeted weak candidates while outside money flowed in to fund a barrage of negative ads. The PAC funded ad buy has to be incredible down here.

The vote favors Laxalt?. He was known to have a bigger voting day turnout. We don't have to wish these things upon a star. We'll find out.

 

[zeppelin128]

Neither do conservatives

Tell your friends then.

 

[BreatheUT]

I think you're the one celebrating at halftime. You remind me of Lane Kiffin when he coached UT against Florida. "It wasn't as bad as everyone thought."

 

[evillawyer]

Be honest, who on here voted for slavery? Looks like 1/5 tennesseans did.

 

[volbeast33]

Not like Herschel.

Fetterman is just as bad a candidate…..Warnock is not much better…. Surely we have better people to run than what we have right now.

... but the ballots remaining to be counted are mostly mail-in/absentee ballots from Clark County ... which leans Democratic.

Not like Herschel.

I don’t think people outside the state realize what a combination of baggage, lack of qualifications and being inarticulate that Herschel is. I don’t mean that he’s dumb. He just doesn’t come off as a credible alternative. Sounds like a cliche machine that’s running for Senior class President.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Fetterman is just as bad a candidate…..Warnock is not much better…. Surely we have better people to run than what we have right now.

His win is more proof of how damn dumb a little over half of America actually is.

 

[BreatheUT]

Lol...I said the other day frontrunner like bowlbrothers would be back talking smack if this was close. The guy is predictable. At least a couple others have gotten in quibs before the elections. Not this guy. Pure frontrunner.

Fetterman has been a Mayor and held statewide office. His candidacy was bad, but he’s not in the same zip code as Walker as far as being in over his head.

Overall seems like a pretty good Wednesday for the conversates
Lost 2 Gov. - 1 Wes Moore in Maryland - Flexed back deep Red in GA, TX and Florida. So moving forward those states won't be in play with the numbers from last night.
Going to pick up the house, only issue is by how much or little
Senate- lost Oz, but rebounded with Walker headed to runoff to potentially swing the Senate. Others still in play that could be stop that but trends are headed towards all eyes on GA in a few weeks.

No more Beto or Abrams

vote blue no matter who to save our democracy.

Close lose still means you lost.

 

[evillawyer]

Read boebert needs a 60-40 split on the remaining votes to win her election. The two counties with the largest percentage of outstanding votes have split +15 and +11 for her opponent.

Guaranteed people didn't read it. I was asked what it was about and they said I didn't read it and checked a box.

Eh. 20% of people just punch a button without even reading the question.

Wow. That is some quality spin doctoring.

By the standards of the party not in power during the mid-terms, going back to 1994, the Republicans have underperformed.

They will take control of the House, but they had modest gains tonight. Republicans plus 13 is being optimistic at this point. Newt Gingrich was on Fox News Monday night and predicted the Republicans would pick up 44 seats.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

No doubt about it. He’s right. This is squarely on Trump and the GOP has to figure out how to convince working class voters of that.

So you think the GOP estabishment candidates would have been better instead of Trump populists? I don't think this means there is a hunger for more Mitch McConnell/Mitt Romney types.
