Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

[Storr]

SC-01 is down to 3 points.

almost down to 2 points

gonna be poppin mad bottles if Joe pulls it off

If a seat flips in SC but not NC, I'm going to be mad. lmao

[Crumpets]

Pete King has got to be sweating right now.

[Cold War Liberal]

I mean this isn't ideal but not terrible either. Gillum, Abrams, Donnelly, McCaskill, and Beto losing hurt, and Gillum and Beto losing rather narrowly hurts more than if they get blown out. Some high points in the House tho. It is what it is.

[Coolface Sock #42069]

So Arthur Jones, the former leader of the American Nazi Party, got ~26% in IL-03. That's more than the normal Republican candidate in neighbouring IL-01.

IL-01 is the most Democratic district in the state.

[Dr. Arch]

It seems like this was a realignment midterm.

[Crumpets]

Nate Cohn says SC-1 is set to be a dead heat.

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

The worst Governor Oregon has had in at least the past 60 years got reelected


Just damn

Ha, just like I called it as well. 7 + points.

So proud to have voted to reelect Kate earlier.

Governor Race in Wisconsin is extremely close, 96% of Milwaukee reported  

The WOW counties are also all in. Looks like most of the remaining votes are in the Driftless, although Dane has some left, as do some of the small, Walker-favorable cities in the east. Given how close it is, tiny, heavily D Menominee could also make the difference when it finally decides to drop.

The entire City of Green Bay is still out. Most of La Crosse County is still out. Most of Portage County/City of Stevens Point is out. The 3 counties, minus Menomiee County concern me, however.

I'm a big fan of Josh Hawley. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in the national spotlight in the future.

[The Free North]

CNN needs to call Missouri.

[Roronoa D. Law]

Omg Cunnigham won Sullivan island by 16 points! Clinton won by only 1 point there.

[Storr]

It seems like this was a realignment midterm.

Without a doubt. This is just as a big of an alignment as 1994. Except instead of the South, this is the Suburbs vs. Rural areas.

[Storebought]

The new chairs of the House committees must under no circumstances be go-along-to-get-along elderly minority hacks.

And Chuck Schumer should be fired by what's left of the D senate conference.

[J. J.]

What is the box score on the governors?   How many were up and what flipped?

All of Oregon's conservative ballot proposals went down too.

[Crumpets]

538 has Democrats favored in TX-31.

[lfromnj]

Ik Texas was called but the margin is still pretty close. I know Cruz will win but amazing job to Beto for doing only points worse than Bill Nelson

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Moral of the story: the Democratic base is the metropolitan elite.

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

Governor Race in Wisconsin is extremely close, 96% of Milwaukee reported  

The WOW counties are also all in. Remaining votes are scattered, some in the Driftless, a bunch in La Crosse, some in Dane, some in the Walker-friendly eastern small cities, some in random rural counties. Given how close it is, tiny, heavily D Menominee could also make the difference when it finally decides to drop.

Ugh, Evers had better pull it off.

I would pay to see that weasel get destroyed on the national stage.

[OBD]

On the bright side these seats were gone in 2024 anyway.

[Storr]

Sloktin (D) now leading MI-08 win 93% of the vote in according to CNN, has been behind all night up until now.

[ProudModerate2]

Hey guys Atlas didn't crash! Thanks Dave!!!

And Virginia, for crafting the changes to help keep it up.

If Virginia in charge of the IT side of Atlas?
