First printout for Hawaii US Senate and Hawaii US House CD 1:

I'm glad that the Democrats finally got NE-02. Seems like all the hype about the ND-AL race fizzled out. Sinner lost by alot.

[Vega]

I'm glad Terry is conceding. Let us have our 2nd pickup.

[Vega]

Barber has never gone down without a fight. He might have some life left.

[Vega]

Barber is a fighter. I think he'll pull it out.

[Vega]

How is the Peters/DeMaio even close?

[Vega]

Shame. I was really hoping that Bera could hold on. He's got to be my favorite Unitarian Universalist elected in the past 10 years.

[Vega]

-CA-52 has been called for Scott Peters (D), over Carl DeMaio (R)

Hopefully this is the end of DeMaio's career. Filth.

Oh, I just noticed that Ro Khanna lost. Wonderful news!

He's to the right of Mike Honda, no?

He's to the right of Mike Honda, no?

Yes. He was the De Facto Republican in this race. I'm legit surprised he did as well as he did.

The sad thing is he's probably going to be elected the U.S. House at some point once Honda retires or he carpetbags to an open seat.

[Vega]

Are there still more votes to count in NY-25?

[Vega]

Any new votes counted in CA or AZ-02?

[Vega]

All of the House races are probably toss-ups in 2016 except for NC-07, GA-12, WV-03 and maybe UT-04.

[Vega]

Shame about AZ-02, but glad Democrats are on the upswing in CA.

Shame about AZ-02, but glad Democrats are on the upswing in CA.

Blame that pseudo independent independent redistricting commissioner McNulty, in reality a mole working for the Democrats, who fashioned a Democratic gerrymander in AZ. She was worried that the Democrats needed a bit more help in AZ-01, more so than in AZ-02, and at the very end of the redistricting process, moved some Dem strength from AZ-02 to AZ-01, maybe  about half a percentage point. If she had not done that, Barber would have been re-elected. Dummymander! Yes, indeed, the irony is just delicious.

Interesting.... a Dummymander indeed.

Also, do you think that you could send me that vote count doc. you post? Thanks!

[Vega]

So, Tacherra actually gained on the last update -- a net of 11 votes. Costa now leads by 75 votes.

I'm shaking in my boots.

[Vega]

Any reason why Politico hasn't update their vote totals in the CA districts?

[Vega]

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.

[Vega]

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

[Vega]

Democrats hold CA-07 and CA-16.

Yay.

[Vega]

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.

[Vega]

I never got the point of swearing in an elected official past a week after the election.
