[junior chįmp]

Blankenship is now free to challenge Trump for the 2020 nomination

[136or142]

The total Republican votes in North Carolina 11 (Mark Meadows district) is now nearly 7,000 ahead of the total Democratic votes.  Another hope goes down the drain.

The line "Aspirations in the clouds, but your hopes go down the drain" is from the song "No One Ever is to Blame" most famously recorded by British singer Howard Jones, but the best version of the song is by Cocaine Mitch and the Deep State Bandits.

Blankenship winning Mingo weird, weirder, jenkins is in 3rd with some random dude in 2nd

Pittenger's chances are closing.

Literally every precinct out are in counties that Pittenger is winning the e-day vote, so I wouldn't rule him out. In fact, I expect him to win narrowly.

[Sestak]

Braun just lost a lot of ground, I don't think he can make this up.

[GeorgiaModerate]

188/210 precincts

Harris 15,528 48.75%
Pittenger 14,602 45.84%

[IceSpear]

Looking at total votes for the Senate Races:

Indiana:
222,140 R
109,185 D

Ohio:
339,732 R
244,706 D

West Virginia:
87,807 D
68,856 R

inb4 #analysis about how WV is safe D, IN is safe R, and Ohio is lean R.

inb4 the Atlas RINOs tell me of how sane and responsible the Republican Party is because they didn’t nominate the coal miner killer

I think you're too late on that one, lol.

[Sestak]

So it's looking like Morrisey v Manchin?

[LimoLiberal]

Classic Mingo county. Manchin at 55% of the vote there and Jenkins in third place despite representing it. LOL

[nerd73]

Looks like Tom "VETERAN" Willis may get a county.

188/210 precincts

Harris 15,528 48.75%
Pittenger 14,602 45.84%

Unless Pittenger's home precinct is out, I think this is over.

If Pittenger loses, NC-09 automatically becomes Tilt D

I know you guys warned against using raw vote counts in primaries to predict the general, but the Dems are almost 10K ahead in the district.

[Skill and Chance]

If Pittenger loses, NC-09 automatically becomes Tilt D

Harris is Cruz wing, not Trump wing, right?  If anything, I would think Pittenger would be the Trumpy candidate with his real estate background.

[Oryxslayer]

In other news, Marion and Hamilton Counties acted as decent bellweathers for the Senate race, as I thought when we saw the early vote.

On NC-09, all the precincts out are in Pittenger territory. Its a question of margins in the outstanding precincts.

[136or142]

The most ardent Trump supporters don't seem to be doing very well in the primaries, especially Melanie Leneghan in Ohio.

It probably doesn't mean anything as it was a two way race, so he would receive any protest vote, but Samuel Ronan, a liberal Democrat challenging Steve Chabot in the Republican primary in the Ohio 1st district has nearly 20% of the vote, in the Indiana 8th district, centrist Republican and resident of Japan, Rachel Covington has nearly 14% in a 3 way race.

Centrist Republican Gina Collias in North Carolina 10th has 14% for second place and centrist Republican (more of an old line 1950s Eisenhower Republican) is in a tight race in Ohio 11 for the right to lose to Marcia Fudge.

[Sestak]

Still four candidates potentially in it on GOP side in WV-03

[GeorgiaModerate]

192/210 precincts

Harris 15,809 48.67%
Pittenger 14,931 45.97%

[136or142]

If Pittenger loses, NC-09 automatically becomes Tilt D

Harris is Cruz wing, not Trump wing, right?  If anything, I would think Pittenger would be the Trumpy candidate with his real estate background.

Mark Harris is a 'religious' right extremist. Think of Jody Hice.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

With only 18 precincts left, and IIRC all of his strongest ones are out, I don't think Pittenger can close that gap.

You guys can publicly shame me, like in Game of Thrones, if I'm wrong though.

[IceSpear]

Manchin is doing horribly in Mingo County. He won it nearly 3:1 in 2012. As I predicted, the Racist WV Hicks have turned against him because he is a member of the anti-white hate group.

[136or142]

Who TF is Bo Copley

He's a coal miner.
