How dare you sully the name of Michael MacDonald, the formula of predicting elections based off of anecdotal turnout reports and early voting was pure genius!!

Can you stop trying to derail the thread, you miserable little troll?

Calm down

laugh as hard as you want but special election for some house seat in oklahoma isn't indicative for midterms

i'm looking at raw numbers from tonight and i can't see a lot of optmism in TX for dems. maybe i'm wrong, but this guy is clearly a cheerleader for democrats just like mcdonald. he looks at numbers with blue eyes.

You can't see much optimism in TX Democrats nearly matching Republicans in primary turnout? I think you're trying too hard to be pessimistic.

The GOP outvoted dems by 30 points in 2016. https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/results/primaries/texas

Dems are doing far, far better in 2018 than in 2016.

Also no election day results are in... this is all just early voting.


Also the reason prognosticators seem to be "cheering" for dems is dems are winning far more elections lately. The GOP keeps sucking hard, even in super republican seats.

that's ok but still doesn't flip the senate seat

early numbers for 7th are better for republicans so far, we'll see how it changes

looking now at 23rd, this are decent numbers for dems

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Um, wtf is happening in the Sherman county GOP senate primary?

[Doimper]

LaHood has conceded.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Seriously, Cruz is not even in fourth place there now.

[Gass3268]

Um, wtf is happening in the Sherman county GOP senate primary?

Probably a reporting error.

[Oryxslayer]

Seriously, Cruz is not even in fourth place there now.

A rural family has a bone to pick? Not many people there...

[Babeuf]

Um, wtf is happening in the Sherman county GOP senate primary?

Almost certainly an error.

[Landslide Lyndon]

LaHood has conceded.

Good. One horrible person less in public office.

[Pandaguineapig]

Yeah it's probably a reporting error, I don't even think there are that many votes in the county

The GOP is cranking out major votes in Texas like it always does. And without much effort too.

[bilaps]

at this rate we'll get final results from competitive races just in time for runoffs

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Thank the lord, finally the NYT has given white a diff color than valdez.

Polls closed more than an hour ago and still only 3% reporting???

VRA states for better or worse tend to have more outdated equipment and count votes very slowly

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Lol, it looks like my state rep might get primaried out lmao.

Why is that?

I know in Georgia all our memory cards have to be submitted to the county election office. Individuals precincts can't report results themselves. Which why some counties here can show 8% then in about 3 hours a huge dump comes and it jumps to 68% in.

They need federal clearance for all updates so any changes or new technology get delayed by bureaucracy. Not a criticism of the law just a side effect

[Sestak]

Miller now leads Cruz in four counties, including two where Cruz isn't in top three.

[henster]

Apparently the Zodiac Killer was very active in Sherman County, and McCulloch and Comanche were some of JFK's best counties.
