State Legislature Special Election Mega Thread

Actually, that may be all the votes, not sure. BUT, Pellegrino has won! This is big.

Why is there no vote out of Nassau County?

Anyways, seems like Trump's approval rating on the Island being bad is believable. Nice win.

Final tally in NY's 9th Assembly District:

✓ Christine Pellegrino (D): 57.89% - 5,590
Thomas A. Gargiulo (R): 41.93% - 4,049

She won Suffolk portion of the district 59/41 and the Nassau portion 56/44. Much better than expected.

We're winning suburban Oklahoma City and Tulsa districts now. Great news.

Not as bad as I was expecting in SD-45. @kingsweden Do you think it's because a lot of these voters want a split legislature?

Well, the Republican candidate ran a localized campaign from my view, and to be blunt, she is Asian and attractive in a district with a large Asian population, so I think she's overperforming how a Generic R would do.

IK it is a little off topic, but could we please get links for fairfax at large school board race?

Karen Keys-Gamarra (D) is winning big league.

[heatcharger]

Keys-Gamarra won 64-33
Clinton won 64-29

Clinton had a larger margin, but Keys-Gamarra matched her %.

Keys-Gamarra had strong support from local Dems (Wexton, Boysko, Murphy, etc.), and she actually ran ahead of Hillary in some incredibly affluent, traditionally Republican areas near Oakton, which was her home turf. I'm hesitant to say this is a good data point to predict the gubernatorial race though, and that's simply because this race was a nonpartisan election.

It's very clear that Democratic anger/enthusiasm is extremely high in Fairfax, however.

Holy sh*t I thought the Dem was dead in the water with that 60-34 Trump precinct left to report. It went 54-43 in reality.
