State Legislature Special Election Mega Thread

[Pragmatic Conservative]

When will we have the results tonight?

Poll close in 10 minutes, so not too long after.

Maybe in NH, but polls are still open for another hour in MA/MS.

Could you please provide links for live results of both elections, thank you.

Massachusetts (link should be active when polls close)  https://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/elespeif/speifidx.htm


I don't believe Mississippi and NH show live results on their SOS sites.

Hopefully we can pick up legislative seats in the Kansas City and St Louis suburbs next year.

But I am tired of these near victories. 52 R to 48 D.

We'll probably get a big victory next month (?), with Washington's special election which will determine control of the state Senate and thus whether or not Democrats have a trifecta. That means more than any of these legislative special elections. Plus, we've won a number of legislative specials recently. It's just the Congressional ones that were painfully close but ultimately lost. I'm pretty sure we'd be drinking champagne instead of sulking if Trump had tapped Congressmen like Mike Coffman or Barbara Comstock, who represent considerably more competitive districts than the deeply conservative ones in play so far this year.

The general for Washington  is in November not next month.

Wow what a swing to the dems

Swing to Democrats of 28.07% from 2014, however the race was slightly closer with a Democratic incumbent in 2010.
