SD-17 in Clay County should be a fairly easy flip I would think. Only went for Trump by 4 points.

The spending is going to be insane.

Well, I at least love the different directions explaining tonight is taking:

MO campaign consultant: Blame Greitens!
Pressler: Still a great night, we shouldn't have expected to get every single seat!
Atlas Dems: Trump/Grietens/Dem was a moderate

But of course, my own explanation, voter fraud, is correct.

[Sestak]

Wulfric WTF

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I'm sure it them blacks in inner city Arnold that put cheatin Revis over the top, always scammin, vote fraud, busses, on and on man on an... (sarcasm).

[smoltchanov]

Wulfric is either the best troll or a Bagel/smolt-tier poster.

As i already said - you don't achieve even that level.

Aw shucks, thank you!

Always glad to help you..

Dude, get over yourself

black people from Canada were bussed in to vote illegally, and in fact 100% of the votes for both candidates in district 97 were illegal black canadian votes because the county outsourced its voting to a firm in Quebec, so that the locals could not give a  about politics like real Americans. We should be proud of an ingenious community figuring out how to allow all of its citizens to not vote. USA! USA! USA!

Krazen should be weeping, as his party is the victim of voter fraud. The fact that none of you have entered into any actual argument as to why we should trust that such an improbable result is a fairly achieved result is just more proof that fraud occurred.

Because it's not as improbable as you think given the swings we've seen so far in Trump's presidency in districts like these?

It's more like the conspiracy theories you are slinging don't warrant much discussion, especially when you do not offer any proof or really any reason at all why you are thinking fraud in particular.

Good sir, we in the GOP have learned to deal with such fraud, and condition ourselves to handle it. We in the GOP have landslide majorities in the Missouri bellweather.

They do this all the time. See this example from 24 years ago.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 18— Saying Philadelphia's election system had collapsed under "a massive scheme" by Democrats to steal a State Senate election in November, a Federal judge today took the rare step of invalidating the vote and ordered the seat filled by the Republican candidate.

[LimoLiberal]

Little bit unnerving that dailykos wiped the early January Georgia special elections from their tracker. Remember them? GOP easily held on to a Clinton seat and got 60%+ in a seat that Trump barely won? Some very selective memories.

Anyways, good night all. I'll see y'all on the 13th for what I hope will be a Good result in Florida.

The only fraud I'm seeing is in this argument. If there's any actual evidence that's not about whether your predictions turned out right or not, then feel free to present it. Otherwise, this comes across as nothing more than Infowars-tier conspiracy theorizing.

While evidence from this specific race has yet to come as far as I can tell, there is ample evidence that voter fraud is a real problem, and in such a close race, which had such an improbable result, it is reasonable to believe that fraud is likely to have occurred and should be seriously investigated for:

Reminder that that was the day after they lost the CFP.

So, let's look at things overall. In three of the four races tonight, things went as expected in Missouri - Republicans win, Democrats lose. The loss was wider than I expected in 39 and 129, and smaller than I expected in 144, but still the republicans won as expected. But in District 97, we saw a vastly different result, with a Democrat winning a very republican seat, a disastrously improbable event. Looking at the county results, it is apparent that the Jefferson County vote, which is way too democratic, was the victim of voter fraud. Democrats likely bused voters from other districts in just enough numbers to illegally flip this race. What this should do is mobilize every resident of Missouri to keep careful watch over their respective polling place and do all they can to stop future fraud. I encourage the republican candidate in HD-97 to pursue electoral fraud charges for the Jefferson County portion of the district in state court as soon as feasible.

You can't be serious...

If voter fraud on the part of Democrats was real, Trump would not be President. That is all.
