I am going to laugh so hard if Strong Candidate™ Unbeatable Titan David Valadao loses to some random bankrupt gringo.

Greg Stanton is winning 61-39.

Reminder that Republicans actually lit money on fire in this district.

Why is AP dragging it out with their call?

They were already wrong about the SoS race, so I guess they're being more cautious this time.

Yeah, it's a low standard at this point, but you've gotta give McSally some respect for not jumping on the psychotic nutjob train like Trump, Scott, Kim, Poliquin, etc.

Poliquin looks like a dingus. Now he's acting like a dingus.

In the first round of voting in LA-SEN 2014, Mary Landrieu got more votes than Bill Cassidy, fair and square. And yet, she's not a Senator anymore. I wonder why Poliquin isn't complaining about that...

You're mixing up apples with oranges here. Cassidy beat Landrieu fair and square in a Runoff. Meanwhile in Maine a Computer decides the Race. How weird! Maine has no Runoff.

No, it's the same thing. If a non FPTP system isn't allowed, then runoffs shouldn't be allowed either. So Cassidy should be kicked out and Landrieu should take her rightful Senate seat.

Salt Lake Tribune still thinks McAdams will win, but it's looking better for Love than it did before.

I'd probably prefer to be McAdams over Love right now with what votes are left. But McAdams is already in Washington D.C with the rest of the freshmen congress, that seems premature with how close this race is.

I'm pretty sure that happens all the time in close races.

Also, lol:



LMAO. Gotta love all these Republicans in Clinton districts who were arrogant enough to think they were safe. I wonder how they felt when they got that cold hard slap of reality.

Awesome. Few people deserved to lose more than MacArthur.

It's a good thing for Dems that their majority is mostly built off more durable suburban districts rather than very Trumpy districts which probably would've been one term rentals like NC-09, KY-06, IL-12, WV-03, KS-02, etc.

Salt Lake County tightened some more in its latest update.  McAdams' lead falls to less than 1000 votes...

McAdams is screwed if the rest of the SLC ballots are remotely similar to that batch.

I won't be too upset if we lose this one though considering it was likely to be a one term rental anyway.

Mia Love is one of the few R's I'm rooting for this cycle.

Why?
