Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

[SunSt0rm]

Exit polls of CNN have Braun +4

[Panda Express]

VA called for Kaine right at the bell

[indietraveler]

If Donnelly pulls this out, could be a big indicator of further division of urban/rural divide.

[Pyro]

CNN Calls it for Bernie!!

[The Free North]

I'm getting pretty buzzed now. Going to grab a cat!

Great idea! I'm going to grab mine, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grab them by the....

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

Kaineslide!

[SCNCmod]

First results in Vigo 49-46 Donnely. It seems underwhelming if it stays

That's the worst number for Donnelly so far. Bayh won here by 11 over Young. Vigo County is also ~40% in so this isn't just preliminary results.

Byah was born and raised in Vigo Co

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Tim Kaine called a winner before a single vote counted by CNN!!!!!!!!! Right at the minute polls closed.

[Dr. Arch]

Tim Kaine called a winner before a single vote counted by CNN!!!!!!!!! Right at the minute polls closed.

That's a good sign.

Very premature by CNN.

Braun up 4 in exit poll.

Exit polls of CNN have Braun +4

There's no way it's the exact same as the Trump +4 approval

[Horsemask]

Glad to see Kaine called early. Screw Corey Stewart

[J. J.]

Barr is up by 7.5 with 2% in. 

[The Free North]

Braun up 4 in exit poll.

Checks out with early returns.

[kelestian]

It's 3 a.m. in Moscow, and i'm so excited to hack all of the competitive senate races)

[The Undefeatable Debbie Stabenow]

To aid the narrative that Donnelly will have a very different coalition than he did in 2012, he's currently up double digits in Allen County (with Fort Worth), which he lost in 2012.

[Crumpets]

Pinellas looking good for Dems so far.

[wbrocks67]

Why is NYT being so painfully slow tonight?!

[Crumpets]

If Donnelly pulls this out, it will not because he repeats his 2012 win. It will be because he runs up huge numbers in Indianapolis and NW Indiana while losing ground everywhere else.

Nate Cohn blatantly plagiarizing me https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/status/1059960896171245568

[Sestak]

Didn’t Donnelly lose Allen to Mourdock?

[Pericles]

538 now gives Braun a 70% chance of winning.

[Cape Verde]

Donnelly doing horribly in rural areas. So far, the only good news for Donnelly is that he is leading in Allen county(he lost it in 2012). He must put up terrific numbers in counties with 150k+ population (even better than his 2012 numbers). Otherwise he will lose.
