Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

[°Leprechaun]

We might not know which party wins the House until after midnight at this point.  Maybe if we're lucky we'll know between 11-12.

[Yank2133]

I would be damn if Beto wins, while Nelson loses.

[SunSt0rm]

Exit poll have Beto losing 4-5 points. Not really suprised

[The Undefeatable Debbie Stabenow]

Bagel's worries are officially quelled: MSNBC has declared Manchin's victory.

[User157088589849]

Take out Religion and you destroy the republican party.

[Hammy]

Right, so the Florida Democratic Party needs to do some explaining.

Never trust the Florida Democratic Party for anything!

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Braun defeats Donnelly, according to PBS.

[Illiniwek]

So as I said elsewhere I'm really starting to worry about 2020.

Democrats aren't going to back their way into a victory in 2020. They need a strong candidate who will run a strong campaign. Don't really see anyone who will necessarily do that.

[Statilius the Epicurean]

Looks like it was a major tactical mistake for Democrats to go to the mat in opposing Kavanaugh's nomiantion. Donnelly and Nelson have lost while the one D Senator who voted for him is cruising to re-election.

[SPQR]

It seems like 2016 all over again in Florida.
Starting to have serious doubts about Miami et al. having enough votes for Nelson and Gillum.

[7,052,770]

Beto still up with 54% in, but it's pretty tight.

[Dorko Julio]

Yahoo! is telling me Braun wins in Indiana. Don't know if this has been posted yet.

[OBD]

why is texas at 2%

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

AZ-Sen is tied on CNN, but Sinema+5 on Fox.

[Skye]

LMAO Bagel and IceSpear.

[Hammy]

why is texas at 2%

Where are you at? It's at 54% on CNN

[Storebought]

Has anyone reported on what's going on with Manchin? If he wins, while four better-placed D's lose...

Do you think his support of Kavanaugh will be responsible for Manchin's victory tonight?

I don't know what Manchin's results are now, and of course no exit poll asked whether a vote for Kavanaugh was a decisive one when they did vote  --- but, still, if the voters in these states supported him overwhelmingly, it was foolish of these Democrats to reject him and thereby pick a fight with the very voters of their own states.

edit: I see Manchin won easily. Yep, the Democrats making a stink over Kavanaugh when they couldn't do anything about him sank four of their own.

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

Fox News called Blackburn.

Take that, Taylor Swift.

[Doimper]

Beto still up with 54% in, but it's pretty tight.

Where are you getting these results?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Has anyone called FL?

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

Damn, Florida is definitely confirmed HP state.

Texas  and the GLORIOUS WEST ( NV, AZ, OR ) may yet deliver us a victory.

[ProudModerate2]

I'm surprised how well O'Rourke is doing in TX.

[J. J.]

Looks like Spanberger won; she pulled ahead of Brat, almost all votes have been counted.

73% in and Brat is more than +2 on CNN.   

Where are these figures coming from?

[henster]

Stabenow in no danger according to exits, MN looks solid as well.
