Congressional Primary Results Megathread: AR, GA, KY & TX (Runoff) - May 22

[Green Line]

Why is Quigley having such a weak showing?

Not far left enough for some people.  He had a lot of flak.

[136or142]

Why is Quigley having such a weak showing?

Sameena Mustafa was endorsed by the Justice Democrats.

Not far left enough for some people.  He had a lot of flak.

Wasn't he once considered one of our most liberal congressmen?

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

Wow.

Dem votes: 639K
GOP votes: 200K

The blue wave is dead because Texas said so

Reminder: Primaries don't mean sh!t when it comes to the general election.

Dems got outvoted in Virginia primaries in 2016 then proceeded to outvote GOP 2-1 in 2017.

Yet Northam only did 4% better than Hillary did.

Primaries basically don't mean anything. Beto still has a chance of beating Cruz regardless of the primaries, and just because dems win the primary vote in IL-12 does not mean it will be an easy pickup (although I think they have a decent shot).

[Wisconsin SC Race 2019]

Wow.

Dem votes: 639K
GOP votes: 200K

The blue wave is dead because Texas said so

This is Illinois. They're supposed to have a Democratic primary advantage. Not exactly good news.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Wow.

I know that. I was just mocking the media's spin on the Texas primaries and that they somehow mean DOOM for the Democrats.

Ives seems to be slowly closing in on Rauner, and Newman is also slowly closing in on Lipinski.
Those probably are going to go on for a while.

[Catholics vs. Convicts]

Dang, this will be close.

Agreeed, but I want see what the turnout looks like in the collars. That could be significant.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Guys, I was just mocking the media's Texas primaries spin. I know that turnout figures in primaries are useless.

[Littlefinger]

Hopefully Raoul can hold on for AG

[Green Line]

25% in from Will and she has a 400 vote margin there.  Probably needs a little more.  Not sure where it's from.

[136or142]

With the exception of Sol Flores and, so far, Marie Newman, every candidate endorsed by Emily's List is winning.

[Progressive]

I think Newman can still pull this off

[Landslide Lyndon]

Wow.

Go to sleep kid, it's way past your bedtime.

The 4th Cook County Subcircuit (some of Worth Township, most of Palos, and all of Lyons in the 3rd) is about half in. I guess that will decide it.

[Catholics vs. Convicts]

So I'm pretty sure Newman will eek this one out.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Come on Dan, this is thin though...

[Ronnie]

So I'm pretty sure Newman will eek this one out.

It sure doesn't look like it to me.  Lipinski probably wins by half a point or maybe a little more.
