Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

[Politician]

This just might be the strangest night ever.

[IceSpear]

West Virginia down to a 1.8% margin.

RETRACT THE CALL!

[SPQR]

OK-05 may well go to Horn.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Now for 2 years, GOP will ram through any judicial nominee

[Woody]

This just might be the strangest night ever.

YES!

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

The NYT needle is projecting this as a D+9 wave. What the hell is going on?

Realignment.

The Urban areas of this country with the Suburbs vs. the Rural areas.

Thank God.

Always good to see a soulless media darling lose. Delicious twitter tears incoming.

MSNBC calls for Cruz. NOOOOOOOO!!!!

Interesting, because CNN thinks he still has a chance.

Yeah but that's probably because the people who decide these things are isolated and CNN is always more cautious with their calls. But calls are almost never wrong, even when some other networks are holding out.

The Democrats shouldn't consider winning the House as a consolation prize: that means the GOP can't bribe their donors with another budget-busting tax cut for the remainder of Trump's term. That has to mean something, since it's literally half of his "legacy".

Winning the house and the majority of the governorships is a good night for Dems.

FL still really hurts though.

No Obamacare repeal either and Trump will be stupid enough to campaign for it.

[Nyvin]

Van Drew is hardcore underperforming against a C-grade opponent...

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

Spanberger and Luria WIN in VA.

Regardless of the results in the Senate and Governors races, - tonight is definitely a BLUE WAVE in the house, period.

[IceSpear]

PETE SESSIONS LOSES!

[pppolitics]

McAdams up by 10 points - 53% reporting in UT-4!1!!1!

Yeah, the early vote was amazing for Dems in UT. Should be a pickup. More sunbelt suburbs coming through.

Concerned about Sinema though. Dems can't afford another loss in Senate.

Sinema is up in Maricopa county though and that is usually (always?) how the state is won.

[MT Treasurer]

This election is so ing weird.

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

One important point to keep in mind ---

If there were a Presidential election now, it looks to me like Dems would *probably* be winning 270+ electoral votes. So there is that. Although we need to wait and see on MI and WI.

[Badger]

CNN projects KS3, PA6, MN3, and NY1 for Democrats.

New York one is a pleasant surprise! Nice to see zeldin go down.

[Storr]

PETE SESSIONS LOSES!

Who called it?

[Dr. Arch]

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN UT-02!?

[Brittain33]

Van Drew is hardcore underperforming against a C-grade opponent...

Atlantic County isn't in yet.

[OBD]

Loving TX rn

[Helsinkian]

Neo-nazi Arthur Jones getting a quarter of the votes in IL-03.

LOL?.....

Soulless. You’re talking about Cruz, right? Not his opponent...

[RINO Tom]

Tonight basically comes down to #Polarization.

Rural Areas vs. Urban & Suburban Areas.

We’re certainly seeing some interesting things tonight, but that is way too simplified.  If that were the case, Dems would be winning 70% of the vote, simple math...
