State Legislature Special Election Megathread v2

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Get ready to have Samirah sent to Richmond!

Hes a very good looking guy. I suspect he we will get around 65 precent of the vote. I dont the scandal will have much of an effect. Northern Virginia is changing rapidly.

I think he wins 66-30, safe D, I think there is an indy candidate. I don’t think scandals impact him hardly at all, scandals hardly impact these days unless they are massive.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Woohoo pumped for Ibraheem Samirah! Less than an hour to go!

Samirah got this!

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Yeah, dem apathy starting to kick in, not good.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Come on Pugh

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Appears the Special Election was canceled at the last minute by the SOS, there's no results page anywhere.

See you back here for TX (D v D) and maybe RI at 8.

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

The SOS twitter account posted a link to results when polls closed, but the link goes to 2018 results, and the "calendar" part of the page shows the dates for the Governor Election.

Appears there's no actual election. Several twitter accounts, including my own, have replied to the SOS asking for a real link, to no avail.

Wow that’s awful

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

ELLIOT COUNTY ancestral dems, my bois!

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I too think Pugh will lose, but I fail to see how bringing an 80-17 Trump seat to a close race is a devastating failure.

You're making judgments based on ONE precinct? #PeakAtlas

Based off of the entire ev, dude.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Rangel only got 36% of the early vote in the jungle, and rest were dems, now it is 43%, tsk tsk dude

Uhh, it means Rangel has to win the Election Day vote with 64% in order to tie, lol.

well duh, the republican stands no chance, we hold it, but this will prolly be a terrible underperformance

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

While Texas was a sad underperformance (still obviously held the seat though so good), PA and Maine were awesome. Thrilled about Movita Harrell, wonderful to have a sister of the faith and a powerful inspiration be the first muslim in the PA state house, great job Philly! Also shout out to Maine for a solid victory for my dem bro, and Scranton, yeah! The GOP think they own you know, but these still our streets, our flipping streets, hurrah for Scranton!

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Anyone who thought that Trump almost winning Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania in 2016 was not a fluke has been proven dead wrong today.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Hopefully we can hold on in Iowa SD 30.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Hopefully we can hold on in Iowa SD 30.

We should be the favourites. Some of our presidential campaigns have helped here, and it's a Hillary/Hubbell seat. I'm not too secure since the margins weren't overly big (Hillary +2/Hubbell +8)

Oh snap, I did not know that, feeling a lot better now, thanks. I just heard a lot of people chatting about how this will be a tough fight, and saw this labeled as a “HUGE” hold opportunity on ready2vote.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Where the hell is wulfric? Results are already pouring in and nearly done for Minnesota.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Happy about Iowa.
