2014 US Congressional Election Results

[Miles]

^ Yeah, I agree.

I could be wrong, but my guess is that the third parties hurt Casey more; there were several counties where the two-party share summed to less than 90% of the vote.

Casey won Kanawha 53/38 but was in the mid/low-30s in most pandhandle counties.

[Vega]

I doubt it will happen, but Rahall should run again in 2016.

[Mr.Phips]

Casey should have been able to win Jefferson and come much closer in Berkeley.  Even Obama nearly won.Jefferson in 2012.

WV House vote by county:



I understand Rahall would do well there, but he's at 78% (!) in Lincoln County. Its possible, as fairly few votes were cast there (about 2K), but I'm wondering if thats a tabulation error on the SOS site.

If true, 78% would be a huge improvement even from 2012 (he got 61% there).

Pretty amazing that Mooney won the 2nd with that map.

Looks like the areas close to Maryland put him over the top.

If Casey had got a bit higher turnout from the panhandle counties, he would've won. He's another candidate who should try again in 2016.

Great work!  Kind of reminds me of Bush vs Gore in 2000.  Perhaps West Virginia Democrats are not as "damned" as some would have you think. 

[Tender Branson]

Both Udall and Begich now trail by 2.14% ...

[Miles]

Democrats hold CA-07 and CA-16.

[Vega]

Democrats hold CA-07 and CA-16.

Yay.

If the entire H of R reflected the delegations of CA, OR, IL, NY, MD, CT, RI, MA, and VT, Nancy Pelosi would be Speaker for Life.

If only...

[rbt48]

Pretty impressive that Democrats will end up losing zero seats in California this year. Look like the state is truly impervious to Republican waves.

Federally it is. Democrats lost a mess of State Legislature seats.

Three Assembly seats for a new 52-28 majority and a Senate seat for a new 27-13 majority??

Not as many as I thought, but still.

NCSL has the Senate at 25-14-1 Vacant

[J. J.]

Anything on AZ-4?

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Anything on AZ-4?

Gosar won with about 70%

[jaichind]

Anything on AZ-4?

I think you mean AZ-2.  It is going to a recount in Dec. We will know then.

[IceSpear]

Interestingly, even if Dems won all the races that were relatively close (AK/CO/NC), they still would've lost the Senate, since the GOP won SD/WV/MT/AR/IA/KY/GA/KS comfortably, and will probably end up winning LA comfortably as well.

[rbt48]

With the 2 LA-seats the GOP will have won 120 of 160 in the South, exactly 3 of 4.

... And 21 of the 40 are in Texas (11) and Florida (10).

[IceSpear]

Despite incumbency, a famous last name, and tons of resources, Pryor only ended up doing 0.4% better than Amanda Curtis. lol

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

The fact that Inhofe did better than Lankford, even if only incrementally, is a disgrace.

[Maxwell]

The fact that Inhofe did better than Lankford, even if only incrementally, is a disgrace.

They're both fundamentally awful.

[Ljube]

The fact that Inhofe did better than Lankford, even if only incrementally, is a disgrace.

Why? Inhofe is a great statesman.

[Maxwell]

I hope you're trolling.

[Vosem]

It makes some sense though -- Lankford's opponent was a state legislator, while Inhofe's was just a Some Dude.

[Pessimistic Antineutrino]

With the 2 LA-seats the GOP will have won 120 of 160 in the South, exactly 3 of 4.

... And 21 of the 40 are in Texas (11) and Florida (10).

And just 7 of the 40 are majority Caucasian. (FL-02, FL-18, FL-21, FL-22, KY-03, MO-05, TN-05) Out of the others, only GA-13 is plurality white.
