2022 Primary Election Night Coverage Megathread (9/13 - GRAND FINALE - DE, NH, RI)

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

Hopefully Bob Tiernan wins the primary for Governor though I wouldnt mind Bob Pierce too. Drazen imo would be a bad candidate as she is way to robotic and Pulliam would be a disaster

Didn't you say you'd back Drazan after Pierce said he'd look into expanding the OHP?

That was before the debate though where Drazen came off as extremely robotic . Here’s how I’d describe the 4 candidates actually

Bud Pierce: He is running like a Mark Hatfield style Republican and is open to even working with Democrats on creating a public option in the state. He also believes we should invest in natural resources to help improve rural Oregon.

https://budpierce.org/issues/

Bob Tiernan: He is pretty similar to Bud Pierce on issues such as housing/law and order/education but opposes a public option and is mainly running on improving competency in the different agencies in Oregon and generally has the most detailed platform by far on what he would do to help solve the problems in Oregon.


https://bobtiernan.com/issues/


Christine Drazen: She basically is a typical establishment style Republican who gives standard talking points to issue after issue. For example in one of the debates she was asked how she would help solve the problems of rural Oregon and her answer was : "I am a small town girl who knows the problems of small towns which is why I will reduce the size of government so they can decide their own future". Literally as scripted as you can get

Stan Pulliam: He is a far right Republican running as a Rand Paul/Trump hybrid and generally gives angry answers to every possible issue.

Looks like Politico of all people has the most up-to-date results.

Has anybody seen Fivey Fox, though?

Looked at it and I agree. Tiernan and Pierce both seem sane and people I'd vote for, Drazen seems sane but not my type, and Pulliam looks to be completely nuts.

He's at a farm upstate.

Yah Drazen could have been a pretty good candidate but the issue is she like many people in legislative leadership have lost the ability to take clear positions on issues .

I really am enjoying the customary thread lull before the polls close.  It's kinda like a pre-party before everybody arrives.  

(And then the floodgates open where you can't post anything without getting hung up on Warning - while you were typing 16 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post.)

You know you can turn that warning off, right?

Shhhh let me whine and complain.

No surprise but Booker and Paul win in Kentucky. McGarvey has a 2-1 lead in KY-3.

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

19 Minutes until we can get stuff out of NC.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Calling KY-SEN D FOR BOOKER!
Calling KY-SEN R FOR PAUL!
Calling KY-2 R for Guthrie!

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Voted at around 5:00. Very light turnout at my precinct.

Pulled the lever for Shapiro/Fetterman/Summer Lee.

As more rural Kentucky comes in, you'll see Booker do worse in his primary. That's an indication of dissatisfied voters who are locked into voting in their registered (but not necessarily preferred) party's primary.

Do you think Blanton or Merrill will win a county?

We might not know the result of the OR-05 primary tonight-

That's like the second ballot error of the night.

When will the Pennsylvania results start to drop?

5:00 PM my time (8PM Local). NC drops in two minutes though.

Probably not, but if they do, it'll either be in coal country eastern Kentucky or far western Kentucky.

Yeah Merrill came within 7 in Pendleton. We'll see I guess.

Bye bye Charles. No amount of disinformation can save you from embarrassment

That's closing, I'm not sure how much will 'drop'; and in any case those sorts of drop are generally at least half an hour after closing.

Point is we should get some stuff however minuscule soon. The sad thing is that the only interesting race is Cawthorn's.
