State Legislature Special Election Megathread v2

[Dr. Arch]

Kane (The wrestler) won the republican primary for Knox county, TN!!

lol

Tai ends up winning by just 0.8 points, or 96 votes with 28/28 precincts in. Have no idea why so many called it so early.

Who, in your obviously expert opinion, called it too early? And did they call it earlier than your typical hyperbolic inchoate screeching that you pollute every thread you can find on a daily basis in the lead up to special elections?

DLCC called it at 11:19, when there was still 8 precincts outstanding.

And they still called it right.

I was optimistic on the Dems in the two Wisconsin elections before, but with the way things are going for them recently I doubt they even come close to picking the two seats up.

You do realize that Arkansas and Wisconsin are two different places with two very different political climates, yes?

Stop giving his half-witted takes the time of day.

Look at how disgustingly gerrymandered that AD-42 district is. I can't even.

Walker did not comment on the SD-1 race directly, but he did post this article in a complaint about the "hatred of the left": https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/06/wisconsin-democrat-candidates-use-trump-tactics/

He also posted this:  @BarackObama and his big government allies finally announced what we’ve always known, they’re targeting our race in Wisconsin. We need your help to stand up and combat their out-of-state money and attacks. Support our bold reforms: https://t.co/I8C41wuTtE

OBAMA, HILLARY, LIBERAL MADISON, LIBERAL MILWAUKEE.

Scott's campaigns literally every single time, even in 2018.
