USA Election Watch 2026

NBC just went live with their coverage.

I’m watching the news for the third time in 2 years.

I’m watching Rachel maddow and missing Steve at the big board.

6 states just closed.

Mark Warner reelected in VA.

Booker just edged ahead in ky.

That will swing to and fro for a bit.

Our ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation, government funded) is running polling and results from 10am AEDT until app 6pm today (I believe). So I’m switching between watching that and checking in here.

I’m watching broadcast news for the first time since November 2024. NBC News is available for free streaming on Samsung TV Plus (available on all Samsung smart tee vees), with Kornacki.

Also following NYT coverage.

And of course, watching the posts here!

So far, things are looking quite good for Dems.

I’m watching CNN and following the magic wall on their website. For TX, I’ll be closely watching the suburbs of Houston and Dallas. My guess is the bellwether counties will be Fort Bend (Sugarland, southwest of Houston proper) and Tarrant (Fort Worth). If Talarico takes those two, he should win the race.

Love kornacki!

Lines are out the door in Iowa.

I do, too. There’s no one better at elections analysis. He knows this stuff cold!

He’s very excited about Jon Ossoff’s numbers and Keisha Lance Bottoms’, too. :smiley:

With 23% of the vote in, Ossoff is leading Georgia by 67 points.

Would that it stays that way!

I’m very happy with ossoff, it was a nail biter in his last race. Kept swinging and he edge of teeth.

Wow! His lead just jumped.

Early reports looking good for Bottoms in Georgia.

Florida is seeing massive shifts to the left in Hispanic areas, though it seems unlikely to be enough to win the statewide races there.

Decision Desk has called it for Ossoff.

I don’t usually participate in the debates here for sanity reasons, but I’m really hoping things go according to the polls.

Watching Kornaki on NBC and Velshi and Co. on MS NOW as well as monitoring the SDMB.

Even my grumpy, pessismitic ass has to admit it looks good so far.

NBC says the House is 8-2 in the Democrats’ favor thus far.

Fearless Leader has announced that he is turning the election coverage off because the Fox News anchor has an annoying voice.

Hide the ketchup!

NBC calls GA for Ossoff.
