I think what some of you are forgetting is that Donnelly won by 6% in 2012, so he can afford to underperform his 2012 benchmarks. Obviously not by a ton, but still.

problem is he IS underperforming by a ton.

[Bidenworth2020]

will braun win?

[Bidenworth2020]

Senate is gone until 2024.

Wow.

Btw... anyone still wanna laugh at my Nevada Lean R?

[Bidenworth2020]

According to CNN, Jeff Van Drew is losing to an open Nazi.

I don't know whether to be shocked or sad.

but MUH BLUEDOG NEEDED TO WIN SEAT

[Bidenworth2020]

[Bidenworth2020]

Anyone know why NYT hasn't called NY-22 for Brindisi?

could probably go to a recount

[Bidenworth2020]

Is it now close to certain Jeff Denham and Young Kim have lost?

Why do you say that?

Absentees in California break heavily Democratic, but I'm not sure they'll be enough.

both of these races are within 2,000 votes

[Bidenworth2020]

Remaining votes in Palm Beach. Nelson won Palm Beach 58.4%-41.6%.

[Bidenworth2020]

Yeah republicans are gonna steal this seat

i wish scott won outright....

[Bidenworth2020]

American election laws are a joke.

It's made even worse when politicians who know exactly how the process works pretend like it's all very shocking and unfair, and whipping their supporters into a frenzy over brazen lies.

Part of me wishes that kind of behavior was treated similarly to people yelling FIRE in a crowded space.

Unfortunately, we live in the hell timeline, and voters get bored when this kind of reform is recommended

that isnt a great margin, underpeforming her EDAY vote there by 20%

[Bidenworth2020]

I think McSally may be aiming for an appointment.

[Bidenworth2020]

In the first round of voting in LA-SEN 2014, Mary Landrieu got more votes than Bill Cassidy, fair and square. And yet, she's not a Senator anymore. I wonder why Poliquin isn't complaining about that...

You're mixing up apples with oranges here. Cassidy beat Landrieu fair and square in a Runoff. Meanwhile in Maine a Computer decides the Race. How weird! Maine has no Runoff.

No, it's the same thing. If a non FPTP system isn't allowed, then runoffs shouldn't be allowed either. So Cassidy should be kicked out and Landrieu should take her rightful Senate seat.

LOL, imagine you were running in ME-2. Do you really want your Race decided by a Computer? The big Difference is: Runoffs ARE constitutional, Ranked-Choice Voting isn't.

umm... they are pretty much the same concept.

You dipsh**t you realize most of Utah County isn’t even in the 4th right

according to nyt, 48/73 precincts are in. SL county has 386/439 precincts in. just based on this, would guess love wins, based on her margins in utah.

Kim lead in CD-39 whittled down to 711 votes.

This with or without today's LA numbers? Are we still waiting on them, or was OC the last of the night?

OC and LA.

I am confused. This is with both OC and LA? san bernadino is probably even and kim wins then.

What don't you understand? Kim's lead is down to 711 votes after both LA and OC dropped today.

I understand it now,lol.

Suspect McAdams loses and Bordeaux wins with the Gwinnett provisionals.

why would mcadams lose? consensus seems to be he is the favorite.

Utah County growing extremely fast and therefore ratio of remaining Utah County to SLC being underestimated based on 2014 results.

There’s like only 5,000 votes left in Utah County for UT-04.

is that confirmed fact? or speculation?
