KY, MS etc. Results Thread

Personally love spending election nights with you fine folks, especially knowing that there will be numbers to pour over, counties to analyze, trends to anticipate, etc. tomorrow morning.  

True. Though the panic from when some random poster makes a wild, horrifying prediction out of nowhere I could do without.

We're going to be hearing a LOT about Mississippi from Trump.

Not sure why people don't think McConnell could lose. He's just as unpopular as Bevin is.

Federal vs. state.

NBC calls it for Beshear.

What happened in NJ?

My guess is that Dems are receding from a high water mark after 2 years of a trifecta.

[Brittain33]

Any reason why Democrats fared better in the VA House (54-56 seats) compared to the State Senate?

2 seats flip in Senate is proportionate to 5 in House, so the results are pretty similar.

Yeah, it's just disappointing from the  dem side since there are now two State senate seats held by the GOP where the dems now hold nearly every state house seat now. Both seats were marginal  wins by the GOP, and there are two more targets where they came close. It was expected to be the 'gimmi' of the night, and while the senate was (the two D flips were beyond the MOE) it was hoped more flips would be be on their way just like how the state house was.

Consider it karmic balance for Beshear winning by a tiny margin.

[Brittain33]

It is plausible if Trump had not gotten involved Bevin might have lost by 4-5% and the dems might have won the SOS race.

And if my mother were a man, she'd be my father.

Ronna Romney’s tweet is obviously lying propaganda BUT I do think Trump’s popularity and polarizing the electorate did give Bevin a chance he wouldn’t have otherwise had.
