How did Owsley County, KY - the poorest county in America - vote?

68.9% McConnell
27.1% Grimes

lol


americain people...

Ah, so wonderfully stereotypical.

Do you think it would be worth checking how many people in that county rely on the government subsidies they continually vote against?

Of course it wouldn't be worth checking.

Did anyone notice how, in the Nebraska Senate race; petitioning candidate Jim Jenkins beat the Democrat, Dave Domina, in his home county of Custer County?

That's clearly an error.  Well spotted!

2012 for comparison.  It doesn't look like an error to me, as Jim Jenkins is from Custer county and garnered more votes than Kerrey did.

With AZ-2 now officially going for McSally, all that is left is the Vermont governorship. One would assume that the legislature would choose Shumlin due to him winning the PV and the legislature being democratic, but Milne continues to push the members of the legislature to choose him instead.

There is no assuming. The Leg' has never chosen a candidate for the Governorship who didn't win the popular vote. It's not an uncommon occurrence, either.

Typically, one candidate or the other concedes (like Dubie did in 2010). In this case, Milne is not conceding. He is instead trying to get the democratic members of the legislature to vote as their state house districts did (Milne carried some of those districts), and that along with unanimous support from republicans is (according to him) enough to win.

That won't happen, the political backlash for Milne would be tremendous.  Democrats didn't do that when Douglas got less than 50% in 2002, either.

Note: in Florida 12,14,25,27 and Oklahoma 1, the Representatives were reelected without opposition and their races did not appear on the ballot. Florida 12,25,27 and Oklahoma 1 are represented by Republicans while Florida 14 is represented by a Democrat.

Interesting.  Do those states have laws permitting the elections to just be "assumed" if only one candidate declares?
