Let’s go Buffalo!

It's weird because I've only been to Buffalo like 2 or 3 times

I blame my dad (from Bradford PA so Buffalo was the closest team) and RJ.

Pennsylvania voting machine has a glitch in one county (https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/election-2023-northampton-county-pennsylvania-superior-court/), patriots.win (formerly the_donald subreddit) user offers their thoughts:

I've said the same thing here numerous times, and I just get called a doomer and told we need to vote harder.

When there's not a single F****** SHRED of consequences for this bullsh**t, they are obviously not going to stop. I mean, my god, apparently all you have to do in this nation to get by with straight up election rigging, is just say things like "there was a glitch".

And it's like POOF, f****** magic, it all disappears off everyones radar like it never even happened. Oh, it was a glitch. Must not be anything we can do about it! Oh well! Vote anyway even though it's a "glitch" and then just hope it gets better!

I mean, my god, these s haven't even been f****** confronted, let alone anything of substance actually happening of consequence of their actions.

Why ANYONE believes for a f******second that "oh we're making some changes to the rules in key states" or any other garbage, means a goddamned thing, is beyond me.

It's all meaningless, all pointless, when they just blatantly cheat right in front of your face and not a single thing even hints of stopping them.

If they're not clogging toilet pipes with mops to shuffle everyone out of the building and count boxes of fake votes, they're causing "glitches" in the electronic voting machines that THEY OWN, where your vote gets cast for the other guy. And they don't even hide it. They don't even pretend to hide it.

It's all just right there in the open, and everybody just throws their hands up and is like "oh well nothing we can do".

I'll tell you one thing, if you go try and vote and some f***stick tells you that the machine is switching your vote to the other guy, because of a "glitch', the absolute last thing you should do is just leave and hope it gets better. At minimum, someone needs an ass whipping.

Yes, please don’t vote. It’ll own the libs so hard

Wow, what a huge win for Beshear if the shifts from 2019 hold as they have in some counties.

This is looking better than I thought it would.

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

Nicholas County, 71-28 Trump in 2020 and 49-48 Beshear in 2019 is voting for Beshear 56-44.

Are the results good or bad for Dems?

I'm certainly not complaining.

How were the polls looking going into these elections? I have a theory that pollsters are intentionally over sampling Republicans because they’d rather be wrong in the opposite direction than accidentally overrate Dems again

At least in KY polls showed the race suddenly tightening and people here freaked out saying Cameron might eke it out. Looks like the polls before this week were reasonably right.

seems to show once again that either people who disapprove of Biden are not turning out, or there are a lot of D-supporting biden disapprovers.

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

I'm currently trailing 48.4-51.3 in my race. 500 votes apart with about 30% out. Note that this is a district Biden won 63% of the vote in.

Update please?

I didn’t realize that he was running for anything after losing the state house race.

so, there goes any attempt to say 2022 was a complete outlier...

It appears that NY Dems actually did have a pretty great night outside of Long Island:

And in New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul saw Democrats notch wins across the state, including winning a county district attorney position for the first time in history, flipping the city council in Binghamton, and winning a majority on the county legislature in Cayuga County, a county former President Donald Trump carried in both 2016 and 2020. Hochul, whose party apparatus had a disastrous showing in the 2022 midterms, said she raised $1.5 million for the state party’s work in these races.

they didn't have candidates for 2 state supreme court seats, which is pretty indefensible, but other than that
