I completely understand that I haven’t been able to watch news since 2024. The nausea is starting to ease a bit. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Roy Cooper elected in NC, first flip of the night! Wow. NC went from 0 to 56% in a blink of the eye. Edit: And now AP has called Cooper there. ---

Not sure if any of you listened to _This American Life_, but they had a brief interview with a Hispanic resident of Allentown, PA who became MAGA and is super involved in local political organizing etc among the Latino community… and he was at least pretending to be confident that the R candidate would beat Shapiro. So suck it, that guy (although I really dislike not respecting someone who is doing something that way more people should do, which is going out and getting seriously involved in local politics just for the democracy of it all… still baffles me that someone like him would decide to get involved… in the MAGA movement, of all movements). ---

A request, please? Could folks reporting on House races please state the party? Most of us don’t have the names in all 435 races memorized. Actually not a bad idea for the Senate, either, though the big names are more familiar there. ---

I concur w/r/t the Moody call. The remaining votes that haven’t been added to the totals seem to mostly (but not entirely) be from red leaning counties and will likely give Moody even more votes. ---

So it looks like the Black Socialist who got no support from the national Democratic Party is going to lose Florida by about three points? Oh, this is going to be a fun night. ---

NYT currently giving Andrews (D) a 93% chance of winning SC, so I’d say Graham’s looking more than just shaky. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/usa-election-watch-2026/1034377.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/usa-election-watch-2026/1034377.md?page=8)
