Vanessa Delgado

Democrats have a thirty point registration advantage in this mostly LA district and they are nearly blowing this race. Not a good sign for November.

Give me a break. The Democratic candidate literally said she probably won't take the seat if elected. This seat is up in three months and will snap back to blowout Democratic margins in November.

Is there a set election dates for the two vacant Nevada State Senate districts or are they just going to the general election?

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Is there a set election dates for the two vacant Nevada State Senate districts or are they just going to the general election?

Ballotpedia doesn't list a date, so I assume they'll remain empty for the rest of the term.

Gallego will win, but I'm not sure why he's going down from Congress to state senate.

Because he lost in both 2014 and 2016.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Dems begin with the lead:

Peter P. (Pete) Flores   REP   6,106   45.57%   6,106   45.57%
Pete Gallego   DEM   7,291   54.42%   7,291   54.42%

[LimoLiberal]

Flores is going to win.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Flores is going to win.

Of course you think he's going to.

[LimoLiberal]

Flores is going to win.

Of course you think he's going to.

Well, Flores is up 50.3 - 49.7 with all of the early vote in, and early vote is the most favorable to Democrats in Texas. Disastrous result for Democrats incoming.

Trump won the Medina county portion of SD-19 70-27.

Devastating.

There was a prominent GOP strategist who called the Alabama Senate Special Election for Roy Moore last year too.

The only thing a Democratic loss would tell me here is that the NYT's poll on TX-23 is probably accurate, considering how much the two overlap.
