Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

LOL, I couldn't care less if Dems "underperform expectations" or not. They won the House. Therefore they won. Enjoy the "optics" circlejerk conservatives, I'll be enjoying killing the Trump/Republican agenda for at least 2 years.

LOL, exactly! The GOP can sit on their hands for the next two years. Their +2 in the Senate or whatever will be real useful when they can't pass a single bill!

Can I get Horfoid's take on Democrats currently leading in all 4 Iowa seats?

No, but Clarence Thomas can retire next year.

Clarence Thomas is only 70. It would be very strange for him to retire.

Counting bias in King's district. I shouldn't have to explain that. 

52% in for King's district and he's actually down by more. Democrats still leading in all 4 IA seats and the IA gubernatorial race. I'm still waiting for your hot take of how this could happen when Democrats hAtE thE WwC MeN

LOL, 55 seats for the Republicans.

That is ing embarrassing for the Democrats.

Literally embarrassing.

55 is a worst case scenario. Montana is probably going D, and Arizona and Florida aren't over yet.

As I said to Zaybay.... read. Tester lost.

I’ve heard all night in all these different races “BUT LOOK WHERE THE OUTSTANDING VOTES ARE FROM!!!!” - rip the bandaid off. It’s over

Are you illiterate? 18% of the vote is out and almost all of it is Missoula. You already made yourself look like a clown with your moronic House prediction, so just shut up before you embarrass yourself any further.

Scott's lead is down to 21K from 30K yesterday morning as ultra-Democrat Broward absentees and early votes continue to trickle in. How Democratic are they? The last batch of 8k counted cut Scott's lead by 4k. There are probably around 40k ballots left to count in Broward, so stay tuned. Palm Beach County should have around 15k ballots to count too.

Moreover, someone on a different forum observed there was an abnormally huge number of people who voted in the gubernatorial race but not the senatorial race in Broward. To be precise: about 20k people voted for Governor but not for Senate. In every other county in Florida the gap was below 2k. There might be some sort of error in counting that a machine recount would expose. That would almost definitely hand the win to Nelson. However, that's far from a certain scenario.

This race is far from over yet.
