KY, MS etc. Results Thread

[Orwell]

I want Beshear to win, but calm down the race isn't over. Im having OH-12 vibes, I thought O'Connor had won, but then Balderson pulled ahead. I think Beshear is gonna win, but I still see a little room for Bevin.

Glad he finally agreed with the Atlas consensus.

Precincts in Louisville that are still out are a mixture of very heavy dem (90%+) and some marginals. Should be an easy win for the Ds here, no R vote left.

How will Trump spin this one?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Great news, I called it, hopefully, Blue team gets some good news in MS,

[History505]

Gov-Elect Beshear!

[libertpaulian]

Wow.  Bandit was right.  My apologies to you, Bandit!  I really underestimated you guys.

[The Free North]

The networks should call it now, Bevin will lose by 4% or so.

[Calthrina950]

I'm glad to see that I was wrong about this race. Beshear's victory (if he pulls it out, which at this point I'm starting to think he will), definitely bodes well for John Bel Edwards down in Louisiana.

I am so happy to have been proven wrong on this race.

[Mr. Smith]

Beshear leads!

Can he continue this reverse Ron DeSantis trend? Or will the last of Western KY bring things back to the expected?

Feels like Wasserman may be jumping the gun, but regardless Beshear is within sights of winning and is going to keep it close.

Which is really funny to compare to all the people who saw results from Louisiana and then started screaming that Bevin was bound to win by double digits.

In fairness (myself guilty of this), the opposite happened when Bevin handily defeated Conway out of nowhere in 2015. Clearly Vitter was the inevitable one after that.

Glad to have been wrong then, will be glad now if things hold as they do now.

So does this mean McConnel can lose

[libertpaulian]

If Beshear wins while JBE loses, I want off this timeline.

[Kingpoleon]

Beshear has definitely won. There is no path to victory for Bevin.

[MT Treasurer]

Well, that settles KY for Beshear even before any MS votes have come in, who would have predicted that? I also thought that Bevin was slightly favored (Tossup/Tilt R), but I’m almost grateful that the unbelievably smug and insufferable Safe R posters have been proven wrong. This is why you don’t make overconfident predictions, especially when you’ve been consistently wrong before (AL-SEN 2017, WV-GOV 2016, etc.).

[Antonio the Sixth]

Gee, it's almost like incumbents with approvals in toilet usually face tough reelection odds. Shocking, right?

(Seriously, I also thought Bevin was probably favored, but the Usual Suspects' overconfidence was ridiculous as always and it's nice to see them with an egg on their face once again.)

[Comrade Funk]

Paging IceSpear...

Also congrats Bandit if this holds up!

[Tintrlvr]

One potentially interesting result to wait on in eastern Kentucky: Rowan County is the only eastern Kentucky county not reporting anything yet. It was by far Clinton's best county in eastern Kentucky in 2016; she held on to 37% of the vote there. But it's not typically especially Democratic, voting for Conway only narrowly over Bevin, 49-46, in 2015.

Edit: It's also the home of the infamous Kim Davis.

How will Trump spin this one?

This wasn't about Trump, though it does show Trump rallies aren't huge boosts for his choices.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I already have McConnell losing on my 2020 map

[Lisa's voting Biden]

83.4% in - Beshear leading by 2.5%

[Peanut]

I am so happy to have been proven wrong on this race.

Same.

Told ya so! (clap!)

Scratch that

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

But I am sure if only they had gut education more to pay for tax cuts to nowhere, these results wouldn't be happening!

This is the best tasting crow I've ever eaten!
