[GeorgiaModerate]

They're saying turnout is around 29% and millenials aren't voting

The mysterious They.  Got a source?

Last time I can recall two incumbent House Democrats losing a U.S Senate primary to a third candidate: 1996 when Victor Morales in Texas defeated whichever two U.S House Democrats he defeated.

Jim Chapman was one, forget the other

John Wiley Bryant.

Manchin only leading 57-43 in Monongalia county with 25% of the vote in. Disastrous night for him.

Well he still has two thirds of the vote so I don't think him slightly under-performing in a single county makes this night a disaster for him.

If one believed Limo's schtick, you could conclude that a single vote against any Democrat spells disaster for the Democrats.  It was amusing for a while, then it was tiresome, now it's just stupid.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Thank god. Blankensh**t’s going down

He might still win the primary.

and can run as a write in....

WV has a sore loser law.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Are total votes in primaries a good indicator of general election?  cuz Democratic totals in Indiana and Ohio suck.

They're not really a good indicator.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Cocaine Mitch and the deep state bandits stole this from Blankenship

Didn't they break up in the 90's when Mitch wanted a solo career?

Swearengin 20,967
Morrisey 18,098

This doesn't really signify anything.

I think Harris has this.

[GeorgiaModerate]

197/210 precincts

Harris 16,197 48.55%
Pittenger 15,389 46.13%t

Harris added 5 votes and Pittenger 7 in that last precinct.  Yes, 5 and 7.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Harris 16,921 48.24%
Pittenger 16,160 46.28%

[GeorgiaModerate]

Harris 17,036 48.51%
Pittenger 16,238 46.24%

Harris's lead is actually widening a bit.

Kara Eastman is too far left for Omaha.

Obama won NE-02. Eastman is probably gonna be fine lol.

Different, and more D-friendly, district lines in 2008.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Ashford is up by about 100 votes with 87% in.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Were the governor and Senate Republican primary races in Pennsylvania supposed to be this close?

Governor was somewhat of a wildcard, but Barletta was supposed to demolish his opponent. After all, he's a flawless beautiful populist supported by Trump (and basically every prominent Republican for that matter) running against a random state rep.

Where's LimoTroll to comment on his performance?

Just don't say his name three times.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Is there an early vote in Nebraska? Is that what we saw at first?

Harry Enten says that Ashford has steadily gained as more Election Day votes have come in, so apparently yes.

What is Eastman like? As in specific issues. Is she the more progressive candidate?

Yes, she's the more progressive.  Her issue positions: http://eastmanforcongress.com/issues/.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Are there really any consequential ones besides TX-7 and TX-23 today?

TX-7, TX-23, TX-32

KY-06

GA-07

AR-02 (but Clarke Tucker should be easily winning the primary)

And of course, GA-GOV.

Toss in GA-06.  The Democratic primary is wide open, and the race could be competitive in November.

Now that Brad Ashford and Jim Gray have been knocked out, who's next? Joseph Kopser? John Barrow?

Um, Barrow was defeated in 2014.  He's running for Georgia Secretary of State this year.

[GeorgiaModerate]

It's funny to see Atlas act like Eastman and McGrath are bad candidates when they aren't.

Atlas also thinks McCaskill is doomed but Manchin is safe despite her doing better in the polls and being from a much bluer state. I sense a pattern here.

Can you spell "misoygny"?

Well...

[GeorgiaModerate]

Uh oh: Stacey Evans is ahead in GA.

This is the last I've seen:

DEM DEM   STACEY ABRAMS (DEM) 64.77% 2,607
DEM DEM   STACEY EVANS (DEM) 35.23% 1,418
4,025
