Who is independent Sam McCann? Currently winning Pike County in the Illinois gubernatorial race and also doing really well (like 20%+) in some adjacent counties.

Trump republican who decided to take on Rauner for being a Rino.

LOL?.....

Soulless. You’re talking about Cruz, right? Not his opponent...

Oh Cruz is even worse, but I love seeing the moral majority go down in flames too.

People say candidate quality doesn't matter but if so why did Tenny lose and Katko win?

Tenney was too far right for a central NY seat?

Based on how Indiana turned out, MO makes a ton of sense.

At the end of the day, tonight was a good night for Dems. But this bonds terribly for future elections. TERRIBLY.

Not really. Dems winning enough states for 270+ electoral votes...

Dems winning the popular vote by a good margin...

The only really bad thing is gerrymandering and the rural bias of the Senate.


And that is a massive problem.

But it didnt use to be when Dems had 2 senators from ND, a senate leader from SD and could win in races basically everywhere.

The lack of vote counting in AZ is incredibly annoying.

NYT gives an estimate of  230 D 205 R.   

Par for the course really.

one thing that should be looked at is African American turnout. 

This statement is sort of hanging out there without any context and seems odd.

Here's a link to one of the ballots that are being scrutinized because of the placement of the senate race.

That doesnt look that egregious to be honest. There are multiple options on the left panel to vote for an I would assume most people who take the time to vote also take the time to read the whole ballot.
