Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

[Brittain33]

Guys, outstanding Florida vote is mostly in Broward and Miami-Dade.

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

I think I don‘t like this election ...

Yeah it would be hard to make the early results more painful for Dems. Because it isn't actually clear that it will be an actual fail at this point, although it is clearly not best case scenario for Dems, there are also quite a few bright spots.

CNN called FL-27 for Donna Shalala. And Atlas said she hadn't "put it away". Lol.

[Beet]

Man if if the Reps hold the House and gain the Senate tonight, and Trump is re-elected, by 2022 the Democrats won't have had a good election in a decade.

To be fair, that's what people were saying on election night two years ago.

[💥💥 brandon bro (he/him/his)]

As long as Dems win all 20 "Dem. favored" and 4 of the "tossup" or "Rep. favored" races according to NYT then Democrats win the house. No need to get hysterical yet. This is a good time to put troll accounts on ignore so they don't rile you up.

[LabourJersey]

I don't get the freakout about the House. All the seats where the most gains are expected aren't in-- NJ, PA, NY, MI, MN, CA etc.

There hasn't been any shocks about the House at this point

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

Uh oh, 538 has it at 60% chance Rs hold the House...

[MillennialModerate]

I’m sorry guys, but there is not that much outstanding Dem vote in Florida.

Florida is gone.

[The Free North]

Shalala won, still waiting on the big district to the south of that.

Lol 538 readjusted to give Dems a more than 50 50 shot in the house but man that model is sensitive.

[IceSpear]

Ugh, this really is starting to look like a (less bad) 2016 redux.

I am NEVER trusting the polls again!

[J. J.]

Guys, outstanding Florida vote is mostly in Broward and Miami-Dade.

It is 91% in and both Scott and DeSantis are increasing their leads. 

[Mr. Smith]

I guess this is 2002 all over again. Took me awhile to finish homework because of this, but I think I'm gonna go make dinner and get some errands done.

RIP Florida, RIP McGrath, might as well guess Heller hangs on at this point.

C'ya' I think I'll spend the rest of this night on AAD.

At that point Clinton was much further behind with those counties outstanding.

[Antonio the Sixth]

We're f**ked. Everything's f**ked.

[OBD]

Happy 2016

[Zaybay]

Certainly a whiplash here.

[Vespucci]

Guys there are like 10 calls

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

Kendra Horn up 9 in OK-05 early vote, seems like sort of a big surprise if Dems could actually pick that up. Please come through, sun belt suburbs.

[Illiniwek]

Starting to feel sick.

The Dems should've nominated Gwen Graham. She would've pulled Nelson past. But noooooh "mah neoliberal centrist white woman bad"

[Nyvin]

Meh, mediocre results so far

[Storr]

Lmao Atlas overreacting, of course.
