Congressional Special Election (last call! unstickied after NY-27 final results)

[Matty]

Why has this race gotten almost ZERO national coverage?

[Matty]

What is more red?

This district, that SOuth Carolina district, or that Kansas district?

Wasserman says Centre will determine who wins

Says rural areas in line with 2018, but if Centre turnout spikes big, dems could steal the race

Where are you seeing this?

He trolls like this. Usually a average to slight FF poster but has troll moments like these.

Yeah but he’s on so infrequently I keep forgetting about it. Thanks for the reminder lmao.

A troll or 2 never hurt anyone

Anyway, I’m guessing Centre county comes in last here

[Matty]

Big thing to keep in mind here

penn state students are out for summer

[Matty]

I wonder if the fact that dems already have the house is going to lead to a decline in their energy levels for 2019 specials

[Matty]

Wait, they have black voters split 46-42 in McCready's favor?

LMAO RRH

Probably a small sample size

[Matty]

This election is getting almost zero attention from national media.

That usually bodes well for the dems. In the "nationalized" special elections last year, they lost.

[Matty]

This thread has me wondering. What was the most embarrassing house seat lost by dems in 2009,2010,or 2011?

I wasn’t really following politics as closely back then

[Matty]

So I was talking to some people in the office today about this race

None of them knew it was happening or remotely knew anything about it

“Why do you care about an election in NC” they asked

They are right, but I love following this stuff. Lol

In the grand scheme of things, this is a totally meaningless event in the long run

Unless you live in the district

[Matty]

Yeah, it's entirely symbolic.   It won't affect what happens in Congress at all.

I'd say most special elections are like this, except the ones for Senate seats.

The sad thing is, even if McCready wins, he's going to have to go right back to campaigning again, which will mean by 2021, he'll have been campaigning for like 3 years straight. That is something out of a nightmare.

Real nightmare, imagine if he had to work a real job

Do y’all think this will be the main topic on the news tonight? Or just a little meter down in the corner of the screen?

[Matty]

Historically, are elections in years between midterm and presidential indicative of presidential elections a year later?

What were elections like in 2007, 2011, and 2015?

Those normies will never understand us Atlasians.

While true, I do think if you follow current events, you should know about this race.

Although it is getting barely any press. Maybe 10-15% of Americans know about it probably

[Matty]

The dem is leading in NC-9

[Matty]

What on earth is going on with native American vote in age of trump??
