2014 US Congressional Election Results

[Ab1234mdusr]

The defeat of Barrow and Rahall has spelled the end of an era.

[IceSpear]

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

That's perfect, actually.

LOL, I'm stealing this.

Democratic WTF bright spot: with 88% reporting, Doug Owens is leading Mia Love in UT-4...by a margin of 52-45.

EDIT: In uncalled Eastern news, Rice is out to her first lead over Blakeman of the night, 51-49, with 81% reporting. With 76% reporting, Dan Bongino is leading John Delaney 52-46 -- I think this one will be called soon.

[J. J.]

Scott wins in FL.

VA will go to a recount. 

[Torie]

Another huge surprise.

Cough, <curseofCain>, cough...

[Vosem]

100% counted in NY-18, and Maloney finished 1,500 votes ahead of Hayworth. He's probably won, but I don't think we'll see a call there for a bit. 92% in IA-1, and Rod Blum is leading Patrick Murphy 51-49; this one's not quite in the bag, but it looks very likely.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Scott wins in FL.

Wrong board...

Oh, that's you, J.J. Why am I even bother?

[KEmperor]

Rep. Tim Bishop (D- NY 1) finally goes down after all these years. 

You can say that again.  Such a good night.

[Boston Bread]

Wow, UT-04... I have no words.

[Vosem]

With 67% in, Van Hollen has upped his lead to 54-46. Unlike his neighbor Delaney, it looks like he will pull this one out.

EDIT: It's already been called, but Emanuel Cleaver has been held to a 51-45 margin by Jacob Turk -- I recall KCDem made a satirical thread about Cleaver being endangered.

[Umengus]

Democratic WTF bright spot: with 88% reporting, Doug Owens is leading Mia Love in UT-4...by a margin of 52-45.

Cough, <curseofCain>, cough...

not a surprise for me. It's the second time that the girl loses a race that she must win...

[IceSpear]

Scott Brown called Shaheen to concede. Thank you based God.

Thank god they nominated a carpetbagger. Anyone else, we'd be looking at one less Senate seat now. Same for Gillespie. Good lord.

[Vosem]

In Washington, Suzan DelBene was thought to be endangered, but she's leading 55-45 and should be fine. Denny Heck is just barely beating his unheralded challenger Joyce McDonald 51-49, with 28% reporting.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Landrieu just overtook Cassidy by 0.3% with 97.4% precincts in.

Democratic WTF bright spot: with 88% reporting, Doug Owens is leading Mia Love in UT-4...by a margin of 52-45.

That should count as an honorary pickup for the Democrats if they win, despite it technically not being a pickup.

This election has a lot of extremely strange results on both sides, unfortunately, much more favorable ones on the GOP side.

[Recalcuate]

On the bright side, looks like we've averted complete disaster in Virginia. Warner currently up 13,000 votes with >99% in.

Imagine if someone posted Warner surviving as a "bright side" yesterday.

Technically, Gillespie can ask for a recount in VA, says the Independent from New York who said that the only way Warner was going to lose if he murdered someone and they found his prints on the murder weapon.

Impressive almost win for Gillespie.

He can if he wants, but he won't be making up that many votes in a recount no matter what.

[Representative Joe Mad]

That one surprised me a bit.  I never had doubt Cleaver would win (Turk is a perennial candidate that has been running since 2006 or 2008, as I recall) but that is pretty close for him.

That should count as, like, 5. If Owens pulls it out -- and it looks very likely right now -- I think he'll be the only Congressman sitting in a seat that voted over 60% for the opposite presidential candidate, and UT-4 approached 70.

In other western news, Horsford leads by 298 votes. Capps is leading Mitchum 51-49; Gorrell is leading Brownley by 24, and even though there's only 0% in I think that race can be pencilled in. Honda leads Khanna by 6 in a bright spot for progressive Democrats. Bera, McNerney, and Costa are all in very close races, and DeMaio is narrowly leading Peters. Garamendi and Ruiz look OK. Lieu, Chu, and Sanchez all being held to very unimpressive margins in the LA area; they're all below 55%. Chabot is still edging out Aguilar in what was supposed to be the most solid Democratic pickup.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Wow, thought for sure Mia Love would win!

[Beagle]

So, who gets the second Solomon Ortiz Memorial Award for being caught sleeping this time around? Delaney? There are a lot who are in close races and the size of Maffei's loss is certainly unexpected, but I think that MD-6 is the only one in the loss column that Dems were not worried about.

[Vosem]

In an Eastern this-shouldn't-have-to-be-a-bright-spot for Democrats, Van Hollen is projected as the winner. With 86% counted, Bongino vs. Delaney is tightening; Bongino is leading just 50-48.

[7,052,770]

So can we officially say Love lost because of racism? Or did the Dem guy just outwork/outconnect her?
