Forgive me if I don’t share your confidence in the electoral brains and brawn of Florida’s felon constituency.
But your list of the past six governors would seem to indicate that Republicans in Kansas have voted for Democratic gubernatorial candidates in the past, no? Brownback won re-election in 2014 with barely over 50% of the vote.
Interesting numbers: In 2014, Brownback garnered 433,196 votes. According to the latest numbers I looked at, Kobach actually had a few more votes yesterday, with 433,346 votes. But, as I noted, that 2014 figure was just over half the votes, while Kobach’s total was about 43% of the vote. The total number of votes cast in 2014 was 834,296; in 2018, that total is 988,846.
Gee, and here I thought it had more to do with the extensive smear campaign against Gillum involving a combination of overt racism and blatant lies, particularly around claims that Gillum would institute a state income tax and raise property taxes. Before one starts blaming the Democrats for any loss, one has to first factor out the “Republicans lying and cheating” element.
And Stacey Abrams refusing to concede.
I imagine there are a few other races that ain’t quite over yet too.
So, am I understanding correctly that the GOP pickup in the senate isn’t final yet? Tester’s possible loss in Montana will put them at 53 seats?
Looks like Tester has barely squeaked ahead, 211,596 to 210,575. Roughly 12% of precincts left to report.
This is the last race I have an emotional investment in because Tester is a really cool dude.
From what I understand, the uncounted votes in Montana are in the democratic leaning cities. So currently at about 1,000 vote difference could still swing to Tester.
I don’t get what the deal is in AZ, though. This CBS story says there are over a million uncounted early vote ballots? That can’t be right can it? maybe just awkward phrasing:
Every Dem should be invested in the Montana result. If the Rs get to 53, that makes 2020 a pretty rough ride to regain the Senate. I heard one numbers guy say that if the Republicans got to 54 it basically guarantees their control of the senate into 2022.
Tester was also the one vulnerable Dem who wasn’t afraid to scrap with Trump.
“Democrats Expect to Do Well With Convicted Felons”, while good news, is not exactly the kind of headline you love to see. 
All precincts in MN district 1 have reported. Hagedorn leads by 1,311 votes out of 382,813 (0.34 %) (there are 574 write-in votes)
So it looks like Feehan would have to request a recount

Just wanted to say my hat’s off to Wisconsin voters and big, hearty ‘go fuck yourself’ to Scott Walker. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.
Good to see gun control advocate Lucy McBath win her Georgia district.
Yeah, glad to see his luck finally run out.
After the wins by the cheat in Georgia and the nazi in Iowa, that’s the good news I needed this morning.
Also Kobach and Yoder are out in Kansas.
Describing what happened in Georgia as a “win” for Kemp is inaccurate. That was not a legitimate election, and so could not have been “won.”
And the remaining precincts are mostly in Missoula and Bozeman, so it’s favorable territory. Looks like Tester will continue to represent the Dental Floss State for another term.
Devin Nunes, Trump’s lickspittle toady on the House Intel Committee, and Dana Rohrbacher, subject of the “joke” about being on Putin’s payroll, were re-elected. I’m embarrassed by my fellow Californians.
Yes! Frank Zappa!
Rohrbacher is projected to lose. https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article221279775.html
