Glad to see the early (yes, I know) returns from KS governor showing that Kris Kobach, Trump’s “election fraud” toady, is getting beat.
We could take a cue from Trump and retroactively declare them all illegal immigrants by getting rid of the “wet foot, dry foot” policy. And then deport them back to Cuba.
I’d heard on MSNBC that under 1% is automatic recount territory in Florida. Not that it’d be likely to change the outcome in any case.
Do you know any Miami Cubans? There are a lot of pass-white for sure, and many are doing well-off. Doing well off and pulled themselves up by their bootstraps. So your condescending (Not to me!!) “Figure it the fuck out” isnt likely to change minds.
Yes, but it’s massively tenuous. You should always assume at least three or four vacancies at any time during a term.
Bored this evening, no lines but more crowded than in the past. No issues with the machine although I do wish they have some kind of receipt to make sure my choices were recorded correctly.
The poll workers were very helpful as usual.
All in all it was the usual quick in and out.
And I got my sticker.
Looks like our senator got reelected, the house and state counts appear to be pretty close. I am going to stop paying attention until tomorrow.
Socialist Communist Marxist Hater of All Things Capitalist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has won with over 77% of the vote in her favor (youngest person in congress if she wins).
I didn’t get a sticker. I asked, they ran out.
And my polling place was not unusually busy.
No biggie but bummed me out a bit.
Looks win win to me so far. House barely goes blue, but its close enough that Dems get a clue that they need to figure their shit out.
Also lots of socially progressive wins. Greyhound racing in FL, Cortez winning, historical wins for minorities.
Figure it out Dems! Run an actual good person in 2020 and you can easily win.
Just for shits and giggles:
US ABC exit poll reported on our ABC:
56% of voters feel country is headed in wrong direction.
77% of voters feel the country is becoming more divided.
So 21% of voters think the country is becoming more divided but that it is heading in the right direction. 
I’ve mostly been watching MSNBC for the last 2 hours, and I’m surprised that they have not spent a moment analyzing exit polls. No deep thoughts about what demographic voted which way, and why.
Isn’t this why you secretly want Beto to lose? He can’t run for president this early, can he?
It’s no longer early - MSNBC just called it for the Democrat, Laura Kelly (51%-41%)
Breakdowns of the 4 different models I’m following:
CNN model says “Likely” Dem House (only qualitative, and “likely” is the highest chance they give)
NYT Upshot says over 95% chance of Dem House
MSNBC model says 90% of Dem House
538 changes frequently, but right now says 78% chance of Dem House
All at the time of this post.
Also, KRIS KOBACH JUST LOST IN KS!!! YAYAYAYAY!!!
It’s so much fun to see the mind-meltingly stupid shape of some electoral districts.
Kobach goes down in Kansas. Hopefully this means the rest of the nation never has to hear his name again.
Romney-Bot loads his Senatorial software.
By the way…Nate Silver Himself, in the flesh, is commentating on ABC. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him before.
The end of Brownbackistan.
Before I left, the nice old lady who has worked the polls since Woodrow Wilson was first elected handed me a sticker. I told her that I didn’t want one.
She slapped it on my shirt and told me to wear it until I took my shirt off to go to bed. I said okay. She said that I had better do it!
I did until I showered tonight and changed. I’m still afraid she will find out.
