NJ-GOV 2021 megathread

[有爭議嘅領土 of The Figgis Agency]

Camden county 59-40 for Murphy
Bergen county (my home) 55-45 for Ciatarelli

These two results are just cringes if you're a Democrat. I don't know for sure what % of the outstanding votes are by mail or in person, but I highly doubt it is because it mostly counted in-person votes first.

There is a lot left in Essex and Passaic (Biden won by 56 and 17 points, respectively) but how much Murphy will underperform there is the question. If I assume that he will underperform there by similar margin, then Murphy will probably, even very likely lose.

Bergen county is only 40% in at those numbers. Camden is 79% in per the NYT.

Murphy will probably win, but it will be embarrassing if Youngkin wins by a larger margin than him.

Heres the good news for the Dem establishment tho: They still have 13 months to make excuses, find scapegoats, and avoid responsibility for the inevitable 2022 shellacking. I wonder what/who it will be this time? Ralph Nader? Russia? Muh media?

Just about every single "progressive" candidate and policy up tonight got blown out of the water, even in blue cities like Seattle, Minneapolis, and Buffalo.

Boston mayor-elect and Senator Warren acolyte: am I a joke to you?

I’m sure this has been asked/discussed before, but why did Murphy do better than Biden in Hudson County?

Don’t have access to precinct level results or any real knowledge of Metro NYC, but I’m guessing it has to do with Latinos and Asians. Either Ciattarelli couldn’t draw out ambivalent Trump voters, or Murphy was more of a Generic D than Biden.
