I knew there was no chance Bailey would win but just the thought of spending the next four years listening to that boob speak would have been more than I could handle. Looking at his idiotic mug and hearing that nasal, hillbilly voice in his ads pushed me to the edge of sanity as it was. ---

> [@N9IWP](#): > > Does anyone actually live on Isle Royale? I don’t think so… Correct, there are no permanent residents. But it’s part of Keweenaw County, which also includes the top of the rabbit’s ear and does have residents. For whatever reason, the map creators put the arrow on Isle Royale instead of the populated part of the county. ---

It’s interesting to see how the different news agencies are calling the House. ABC: 215-194 CNN: 206-187 Fox: 207-183 AP: 207-183 ABC has pretty much always been the earliest to call things and hasn’t rescinded anything yet. They are very close to calling the House for the GOP. ---

> [@flurb](#): > > New York is a perfect example of how Democrats shoot themselves in the foot by adopting “bipartisan commissions” to redistrict in states they control, while Republicans gleefully gerrymander in states they control (e.g.Florida). Here in Colorado, an allegedly “non-partisan” committee was in charge of redistricting. The committee made big noises about creating several “balanced” districts. To the surprise of nobody who was paying attention, the Democrats retained their very firm control of both the State House & Senate. It wasn’t even a close contest. ---

As of half an hour ago, it’s as tight in the Colorado 3rd as it can probably possibly get. Frisch: 155,579. Boebert: 155,506. A difference of 73 votes.

Per Sarah Sidner (CNN gal onsite in Phoenix, AZ) there will be a “drop” of approximately 86,000 votes released at the top of the hour. ---

In CO it will be a mandatory recount if it remains within 0.5%. ---

Kornacki is on right now. The votes that just dropped in AZ increased Kelly’s lead by a significant amount. Hobbs went from a 4K lead over Lake to an 8K lead. ---

[Who he blamed, of course, for creating a (non-credible) radical.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-stupid-republican-idea-of-the-day-part-2/959018/5587) Democrats should offer to claim responsibility for non-credible radicals if Republicans accept responsibility for the credible radicals.
