Marco Rubio has officially announced that he will not run for his Senate seat.

Good

Pat Toomey voted for CRUZ! lmao

He was a tea party candidate in 2010.

Does anybody have AP links for Maryland and/or Pennsylvania?

The Republicans are getting a total of 36% of the vote in the California primary, split between 12 candidates, and none of those candidates will be in the general election. What an unbelievably sh**tty system.

[ElectionsGuy]

Sanford is a terrible human being but one of the best politicians in the country (IMO). Kind of an oxymoron.

But damn, Forbes is out of office. Sucks to be him today.

Espillat wins NY-13 D: https://www.google.com/amp/nypost.com/2016/06/29/adriano-espaillat-wins-harlem-primary-for-charlie-rangels-seat/amp/?client=ms-android-verizon#

The next primary is the GA-3 R Runoff on July 26th, followed by KS/MI/MO/WA on August 2nd.

So we're going to have a solid 3 weeks of nothing going on until the convention.

Are the remaining precincts Crane-friendly? He needs 62% of the remaining vote to win.

[ElectionsGuy]

Holy sh**t I totally forgot about this until now and Huelskamp is losing!

Tennessee sucks for re-electing this man twice after his abortion scandal.

I voted this morning a bit after 7 when the polls opened.  Unlike the spring presidential primary, the place was a ghost town.  Only a few other people there.  They're predicting a 16% turnout in WI.  Afterward, I posted on Facebook that I voted.  An out of state relative was suprised that there would be a primary during summer vacations, etc.  Apparently it used to be held in the Fall (I'm new to WI) until Walker and Co. came along.  Another way to minimize turnout.

A lot of states have their primaries around this time. Why is it a conspiracy to limit voting?

[ElectionsGuy]

Paul Ryan projected winner, winning 85-15 with 28% in.

lol, loser got STOMPED on.

[ElectionsGuy]

Ryan (inc): 57,391 (84.1%)
Nehlen: 10,852 (15.9%)

Now that's some high energy turnout! The R to D total vote ratio was 73.4/26.6. It even beat Democratic Primary turnout in WI-04.

Also don't know if this is worth knowing about but Democratic votes in WI-07 slightly exceeded Republican votes.

I'll be looking forward to see if Young struggles in his primary.

[ElectionsGuy]

Ugh, Wyoming is going to go from one of the best Reps they've had to one of the worst.

[ElectionsGuy]

DISGUSTING!

[ElectionsGuy]

Any chance Ryan Greene could defeat the literal Spawn of Satan in the general election?

It's Wyoming.

[ElectionsGuy]

Young and Murkowski both appear to be fine, going to sleep now.

My Favorite part about tomorrow night will be watching DWS crush Tim Canova.

Will DWS crack 60?

Yes, as the people of FL-23 will support support someone that has been loyal and ready to fight on behalf of their party and district.

Also someone who speculated that it was okay to use Bernie's religion and ethnicity as a negative in Kentucky and West Virginia as a total insult to those people. Go Debbie!

[ElectionsGuy]

Just realized there will be two Rooney's in congress both from Florida.

Also kind of shocked that Grayson did so poorly overall, but won some conservaDem counties in the pandhandle. That area has had some odd behavior as of late.

[ElectionsGuy]

And NYT just called it for McCain.

[ElectionsGuy]

If Edelblut wins the primary, I'll move this race from Likely to Safe D. I wonder how many angry women trolled the GOP primary and voted for Edelblut, Guinta, Lawrence, etc.?

Do you actually think this is a thing people do? Most people over 30 that aren't internet denizens don't even know what that means. And even if people do you think they're going to do it with something as serious as voting? You need to get help if you actually believe the stuff you say.

[ElectionsGuy]

I hope Guinta goes down. Hopefully, damn both that race and the Republican governor primary are super close. Sununu no longer a household name in New Hampshire politics?

[ElectionsGuy]

The next primary is the NY-3 R redo on October 6th.

Okay, I officially apologize that my screen name is what it is and I'm asking this, but what happened here?
