Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

[The Undefeatable Debbie Stabenow]

Also, NYT is auto-updating perfectly fine for me. It does seem to be a bit behind CNN, though.

[SunSt0rm]

First results in Vigo 49-46 Donnely. It seems underwhelming if it stays

[Crumpets]

If Donnelly pulls this out, it will not because he repeats his 2012 win. It will be because he runs up huge numbers in Indianapolis and NW Indiana while losing ground everywhere else.

[Panda Express]

They're obviously not all in, but I still think the rural counties are looking good for Braun here.

Though to be fair, Roy Moore looked good in most of the rural counties. Jones racked up the margins in the urban areas and caused massive erosion in the suburbs

The paths to victory tonight won't be through the rural areas. They're too Trumpy.

[Ye We Can]

DDHQ has MgGrath Up 54-44

Congrats congresspeople McGrath and Ojeda!

Ah yes lets declare victory with 1 percent of the vote in lmao

Well, thats exactly how Trump won in 2016.

I know it's sacrilegious to start talking about ReAlIgNmEnTs this early in the night, -- but could we be seeing Republican's sweep the rural areas, and Democrats making big gains in the Suburbs and Urban Areas?

[wbrocks67]

Braun is only up 25-30 in rurals where Trump was winning 45-50+.

[Hammy]

Why is CNN already on doom mode?

They always are

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Four minutes out from FL/GA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Person Man]

I'm getting pretty buzzed now. Going to grab a cat!

[ExSky]

Imagine making sweeping assumptions based on 2% of the overall vote coming from rural areas.

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

If Donnelly pulls this out, it will not because he repeats his 2012 win. It will be because he runs up huge numbers in Indianapolis and NW Indiana while losing ground everywhere else.

[Crumpets]

538 has flipped K-06 back to tossup after having it at Likely R for a few minutes.

[J. J.]

The Libertarian is at 40% in Vermillion county. I'm guessing that was a mistake.

Yes, Lib has about 6%.  Braun is leading. 

[Bidenworth2020]

will braun win?

[Zaybay]

Seems like Donnelly is preforming worse in rural areas and better in suburban areas

[Panda Express]

First results in Vigo 49-46 Donnely. It seems underwhelming if it stays

That's the worst number for Donnelly so far. Bayh won here by 11 over Young. Vigo County is also ~40% in so this isn't just preliminary results.

[rob in cal]

  are any of these Indiana counties with votes in so far very suburban?

[LAKISYLVANIA]

[The Free North]

deleted.

[Ye We Can]

If the St. Joseph results stay that way Donnelly is screwed, but I assume that's just an R precinct

[augbell]

KY-6, D up by 2% with 6% in, says Fox News

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

I'm getting pretty buzzed now. Going to grab a cat!

Great idea! I'm going to grab mine, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Crumpets]

BERNIE WINS

IT FINALLY HAPPENED
