Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

Trump approval higher in FL than MO? oh

[wbrocks67]

Fox News voter analysis data:

65-34 on economy
51% want to repeal Obamacare
46% support the wall
66% think political correctness has gone too far

Yeah, I don't think so...

[wbrocks67]

Guys it's AP also which does this together with FOX. It's not like Hannity did the crosstabs, chill.

they are separate.

[wbrocks67]

Donnelly keeping it way closer than Trump. Bartholomew County, down not even 10. Trump won by over 30. Needs to keep it close in places like this.

Meanwhile, this returns are going at a snails place.

[wbrocks67]

Trumps approval 52/48 in IN. However, 30% went to support Trump. 34% of voters went to oppose him.

[wbrocks67]

It's been nearly an hour, who are we literally only at a few thousand votes...

[wbrocks67]

NYT is going painfully slow tonight, and not even automatically refreshing

[wbrocks67]

Braun is only up 25-30 in rurals where Trump was winning 45-50+.

[wbrocks67]

Exit polls of CNN have Braun +4

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

[wbrocks67]

Why is NYT being so painfully slow tonight?!

[wbrocks67]

About to move to CNN online. NYT's site is a disaster and incredibly behind.

[wbrocks67]

So what's the story with AZ? There is people saying there is still like 1/4 of the vote left to count.

[wbrocks67]

Ugh, the amount of races literally within like 0.5% is insane.

The Gina Ortiz Jones/Will Hurd race especially. She was *so* close

[wbrocks67]

I'm kind of shocked to see Harder and Porter down in CA, but there's still a ton of CA votes left, right?

[wbrocks67]

Also, justice for Shalala that she was the 2nd call of the night.

[wbrocks67]

McCready still has a shot? That's good news. Was sad that his was so close too.

I'd imagine Ortiz Jones can ask for a recount. I think it's literally within like 0.2%.

Also, when are they going to call McBath? She's out of the 0.5 range at 0.6 right now.

[wbrocks67]

Confirmed that there are 472K votes left to be counted in Maricopa county.

How are the remaining ballots looking for Sinema? Is Maricopa a good county for her?

[wbrocks67]

What's fascinating to me is that somehow Dems lost in FL, lost their red states (most of them), but somehow Rosen in NV managed to iMPROVE on Hillary's margin. Was it the latino vote? You'd think if the "rural outnumbers the cities" situation is gonna happen through most of the other states, it'd happen in NV, too? Interesting how she actually is doing better than anticipated. Bodes well for AZ in the end though, I'd think

[wbrocks67]

How many Republicans in the house that distanced themselves from Trunp ended up winning?

Fitzpatrick won. Only Republican I know bragging about Bloomberg's endorsement. Hopefully Dems nominate someone good in 2020 because Wallace sucked.

It didn't help that a ton of outside groups that normally endorse Dems endorsed Fitz. Sadly, a lot of people there believe his moderate schtick.

[wbrocks67]

NYT now has McBath +1.0 in GA-06

It would be amazing to see Handel lose tbh.

[wbrocks67]

Is there going to be a recout in Texas 23? Gina Ortiz Jones trails Will Hurd by just 0.2 or a few hundred votes. Maybe she can still get this?

I sure hope so. It would be amazing to see her win, especially after all the hot takes of Will Hurd somehow being impenetrable

[wbrocks67]

Why are places like UT-4 still not finished...

[wbrocks67]

Still a crappy result, but not as disgusting as yesterday night ...

At least there were decent gains in the House and among Governors and AZ still has the chance to be won by Sinema.

BTW: Is there enough left for Nelson ? (I guess Gillum is done, which is a shame, because the racist DeSantis will now become Governor. And that fu**er Kemp also won).

There is enough left numerically since the recount is just that, a recounting of all the votes. It's possible a ton of votes were counted wrong or something else screwy happened, but I doubt anyone has ever gained 30,000 votes in a recount.

Well I think some people are saying (if I have this correct) that there are still some ballots left to be counted before the recount..

[wbrocks67]

CNN now has Tester up 5k votes, 49.1% - 48.0%

[wbrocks67]

Tester might pull it out, thank god.

If only Sinema didn’t choke.

+2 R’s wouldn’t be THAT bad.

If Florida had done it’s job then it would have been +1 which would be even better.

But like 2016, so close but so far

There is like 500-600k more votes to be counted in AZ...
