Jack and Dugan advance to a RUNOFF for GA-3 R

Not so fast. Jack is up to 51% of the vote with 46% in.

Oregon-03: I hadn't been following this but thought Susheela Jayapal was a shoo-in. Is Maxine Dexter in the lead a surprise or no?

I have not followed this one closely either but maybe I should have. I think we can almost call this one for Dexter already.

People like to complain about VBM states taking days to count but if a race is not close you know it right away.

Looks like a good night for the more moderate Dems in Oregon. Progressive Multnomah County DA Mike Schmidt is going down big with half the vote in.

Mike Simpson is going to win ID-02 easily due to the fact it's a 3 way race but he's currently only at 56%. What did he do to piss off half the base?

He has been there forever and is seen as part of the old, pre-Trump establishment.

IIRC he does have the Trump endorsement.

A little farther down the ballot I count 7 incumbent state senators and 9 incumbent state reps losing Republican primaries in Idaho. I'm not going to waste my time figuring out who was the most conservative in each race but it seems like Idaho may be getting even more wacko.
