Congressional Special Elections Results Thread (OLD, PLEASE UNSTICKY)

[Virginiá]

I'm sticky'ing this for general 2017 special election coverage. The GA-6 one is a hot race, so I'll keep that thread up as well, but otherwise let's try and keep the generic special election coverage for this batch in this thread.

I don't give two hecks about whatever else you said, but your words that I just bolded and underlined for emphasis, communicate a lie. Trump won the district in the general election last year, that's a fact.

Hey, let's be civil here. That was pretty hostile for no good reason that I can see.

Tonight, this thread will focus mostly on SC-5 results. GA-6 results will be primarily on the main thread for that race, although occasional updates will be posted here.

What is your prediction for the final margins for SC-5?

I looked back, and the best performance for the current district lines was in 2012, where the Democrat lost by around 11 points. Not that I expect a Republican loss here, but given everything we've seen in other districts, I'd have to think that a loss larger than 2012's margin would not be that great. That is, unless there is something about that election that I'm missing.

I am a white woman from Alabama and I am deeply shocked, I stayed at home because I could not vote for Moore, but it hurts my heart that a Democrat wins the state, it really is a nightmare.

Go away Daniel. You aren't from Alabama.
