2016 Congressional Primaries

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Alabama runoff overview here: http://www.al.com/news/huntsville/index.ssf/2016/04/check_out_sample_ballots_for_g.html

In other, fascinating news, Congressman Doug Lamborn gets swatted hard by Calandra Vargas, only receives 35% of Colorado Assembly attendees to 58% for Vargas. Could this be Lamborn's final go round? He's been primaried every two years and has almost lost every two years. He almost lost his ballot access and this convention was held in Colorado Springs, very much where his district is located.

I believe there are only a few local offices up for runoff tonight in Alabama, but results will show up here (Polls close at 8:00 EST): http://www.alabamavotes.gov/electionnight/statewideResultsByContest.aspx?ecode=1000100

Great thread, but can you put a star next to incumbents?

Good idea. I'm sort of busy at the moment, but I'll go back and do that tomorrow morning. It will probably actually help a lot.

darth, can you do this?

ELECTION DAY IS HERE FRIENDS

GRAB THE SNACKS

[Figueira]

This is the most exciting night so far in the world of congressional primaries this year. Unfortunately, I fear that neither of the Senate races will go the way I want them to (although I'd be basically fine with Van Hollen and McGinty).

He was a tea party candidate in 2010.

PA-6 D has been called for Mike Parrish, beating Lindy Li.

[Vega]

PA-6 D has been called for Mike Parrish, beating Lindy Li.

What are they basing that on? There are no votes.

If true, it's a big loss and shame there. Sanders should have thrown his weight around for her like he did Teachout and the others.

[PAK Man]

Didn't Li suspend her campaign a few weeks ago? I could've sworn I read that somewhere.

RIP Sestak; RIP Democratic Senate majority.

[Vega]

2% in, so very little, but McGinty holding onto the lead.

I'll be rather upset if she wins this.

[Maxwell]

Fetterman ahead of Sestak what is this?!

also wamp wamp Joe Sestak

John Fetterman is actually above Sestak.

This was a homicide.

[Maxwell]

It's early, but so far Art Halvorson is ahead of Bill Shuster, which I like despite Halvorson almost certainly being more conservative than Shuster. I only say that because I think actions should have consequences.

Fetterman being ahead of Sestak is a moral victory to me - I thought he was the easily best candidate and deserved a shot.

And I guess McGinty is fine, if totally dull.
