Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

[Storr]

Who the hell is this Horn dude and why is he, a Democrat, winning in Oklahoma?

[Storr]

It hasnt been talked about at all, but not looking great for Claire right now.

Down big with 60% in and all of KC in.

Yeah, this one needs to be called as well. Put her out to pasture. RIP Claire, I'll always look fondly on your 2012 race

KC may be in, but Saint Louis isn't.

[Storr]

CNN projects IL6 (ROSKAM DOWN!) and AZ2 for Democrats.

[Storr]

Intriguingly, CNN has Fletcher over Culberson 52.2-47.8 with 77% in.

[Storr]

CNN has IL13 for Londrigan.

[Storr]

NYT has Kim barley ahead of MacArthur with 99% reporting in NJ-03.

[Storr]

CNN CALLS DELGADO AND BRINDISI!!!!!!!!1!1!!1!

I love NY!

[Storr]

Screw Florida, the House matters more.

[Storr]

[Storr]

89% Kemp is up by 8 in GA.  

Atlanta area always counts last, and that is the case here also. Just look at Fulton and DeKalb.

This is very true, I just don't think what's left is enough for Abrams to win. Maybe force a runoff, though.

[Storr]

Does anyone have any idea what's happening in TX-31? Hegar is over Carter 50.2-48.4 with 60% in.

[Storr]

NC Elect Anita Earls (D) to the state Supreme Court.   Dems will have 5-2 majority.   

Silver linings are great things.

[Storr]

Freehan (D) now leading in MN-01 with 64% of the vote in.

[Storr]

CNN is projecting Fletcher winning TX-07. Culberson Down!

[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

[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.

[Storr]

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

[Storr]

Yeah, Ohio is definitely going to be the toughest nut to crack of the Trump states.

Dems may have a better shot at winning TX in 2020 than Ohio. Which is not to say that Dems are likely to win TX, just that it may be a better shot.

I doubt anyone was thinking this in 2012, when you'd have been laughed out of the room if you had said so.

[Storr]

MI-06 is even still within reach for the Democrats. Could be a real coup.

MI-07 as well, strangely enough.

[Storr]

Has Carolyn Bourdeaux won? Wow.

CNN has her up 52.1-47.9 with 97% in. I'm amazed as well.

[Storr]

AP calls NJ-02 for Van Drew (D).

[Storr]

We have a 50.0-50.0 tie in GA-06 with Handel up 170 votes with 99% reporting according to CNN. Talk about close!

[Storr]

Evers still up with 87% in according to CNN. CNN seems to have forgotten about this one as well.

[Storr]

Does Nevada plan on reporting orrrr?

Evidently they decided they won't report until everyone is done voting...

[Storr]

Fox projects Scott wins in FL.

It's officially not a wave, and just a weird election.

It is ludicrous to call an election in which Dems win the popular vote by 7-10% or whatever it turns out to be anything but a wave.

A wave where a 3 term Democratic incumbent senator loses in a state that voted twice for Obama and that Hillary only narrowly lost?

Hilary narrowly lost and so did Nelson.
