Special Election megathread (4/30: NY-26)

[Politician]

RGV is just shifting right, no other explanations make sense. Not the end of the world. Better there than somewhere more vote rich.

What this post is actually saying: due to innumeracy, I have found a way to cope with the fact that my party is a loathed piece of excrement in every rural area where neither Blacks nor American Indians live.

Even Black/Native American rural areas are trending Republican, there are a lot of Obama 12-Trump 16-Trump 20 counties with large Black/Native American populations.

WTF

[Politician]

Democrats who dismissed TX-34 as meaningless creaming themselves over losing by less than expected, how utterly pathetic

The reason this race was surprisingly close was because the election was inexplicably held under the new lines, which caused the portion of Sarpy added to the new district to have really low turnout. This was a complete outlier, and Democrats thinking there will be a blue wave are going to look like idiots come November.
