Official 2022 Congressional Election Results Thread

It's kinda strange how the media has been radio silent on the polls underestimating the Democrats this year. A quick google search will produce very few articles on the subject. After the 2016 election, the persistent narrative had been that polls have a pro-D bias that underestimates Republicans, yet this election completely smashed that notion. You'd think the "liberal media" would be talking nonstop about this. I guess they're still heartbroken that their hyped Red Wave didn't happen. *shrugs*

Polls underestimate Republicans only when Trump is on the ballot. Why that happens?
The most interesting (and plausible) theory I have read is that of kos about the "hidden deplorables".

Though I wonder if the dynamic's gone the other direction--almost as a no-shame crazification-factor thing; that is, Trumpers now extra-willing to let it all hang out for pollsters, blaring out their allegiance and hoping to bump up momentum for their candidates.  Meanwhile, it's the *Dems'* turn to be shy, perhaps out of fear of violence by crazed Trumpers in their midst...

I don't think so. If anything this election proved once again that these people come out of the woodwork only for Trump himself and don't give a rat's ass about other Republican candidates even if they are essentially mini-mes of their leader.

Republicans had lower turnout than Democrats in 2010? Good lord, Dems must've gotten destroyed by independents.

That was still a time when registered Democrats far outweighed registered Republicans in places like West Virginia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Florida, etc.

The AP makes its Final Race Call of the 2022 Midterms, calls CO-3 for Congresswoman Lauren Boebert after an Automatic Recount showed her ahead by 546 Votes.

This is likely to be her final term in congress.

You think she'll retire or lose?

I thought the conventional wisdom was that blacks distrusted Fetterman because of that black jogger incident.
