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

[MAINEiac4434]

Pittenger finally within 1,000 of Harris. 20 precincts to go.

[Oryxslayer]

20 precincts (aka 10%) left in NC-09. Less then 900 votes. All remaining precincts are in Pittenger counties. Can the incumbent survive the primary?

[TheSaint250]

Don Blankenship is now below 20%.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Nate Cohn doesn't seem too optimistic for Pittenger. He's not getting the votes he needs in his precincts.

[GeorgiaModerate]

196/210 precincts

Harris 16,192 48.56%
Pittenger 15,382 46.13%

I think Harris has this.

[Oryxslayer]

Pittenger and WV-03 R's are the only real contests left open still.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Blankenship seems to have made the same miscalculation that Raese made in 2010 with one of his ads. It ended up boomeranging and helping Manchin, because it appeared to paint West Virginians as hicks.

These out of state businessmen are horrible at connecting with voters.

At the same time Jenkins suffered for two reasons
1) He is a Representative in Paul Ryan's Congress
2) A good portion of his best supporters are registered Democrats, many of whom voted for Manchin and will likely do the same in November against Morrisey.

Convicted felon Steven Kraus likely to win Republican primary to take on Marcy Kaptur.   Kraus also blames the 'deep state' for his conviction.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Does Manchin get Don's endorsement now lol? Anyways, pretty disappointing results across the board tonight, but it could have been much worse. Indiana is now weak tilt D (this one might even flip in rating soon, not enough info on Donnelly vs Braun to do so yet, but for now I am still giving the narrow edge to Donnelly now based on his overwhelming numbers against the two other oafs). As for Manchin, he did not get Don, but at least he did not get Jenkins either. He did not dodge the bullet, but it was low caliber and a through and through in a less vital area (metaphorical). He should be favored to win reelection at moderate lean D.

Yes, I made a similar comment here not too long ago.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Yep, Harris probably has this. Pittenger is not getting the votes he needs in the remaining precincts.

[GeorgiaModerate]

197/210 precincts

Harris 16,197 48.55%
Pittenger 15,389 46.13%t

Harris added 5 votes and Pittenger 7 in that last precinct.  Yes, 5 and 7.

[MT Treasurer]

The county map for WV-SEN will probably look a lot like the WV-GOV 2016 map with Morrisey as the nominee. Tilt/Lean D.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Why are Trumbull and Mahoning Counties voting for a nobody in the Democratic Governor primary?

How will Harris ever recover?

[136or142]

Does Talley Sergent have a serious shot against Alex Mooney in the general?

[GeorgiaModerate]

204/210 precincts

Harris 16,921 48.24%
Pittenger 16,160 46.28%

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Harris wins.

Overall, it's not that bad. Braun winning sucks, but it was expected. Blankenship winning would've been the dream scenario, but Manchin is favoured against Morrisey I would say.

[136or142]

199 votes separating first and third place in West Virginia 3rd on the Republican side.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

As for NC, Walter Jones once again proves Republicans don't understand their own voters, or what motivated people to vote for Trump in the first place. Indiana Senate had this on display, but it was more subtle.

And Harris being the GOP nominee in the GOP district that most opposed NC Amendment 1 in 2012, is not going to go over well. This is Romney and pre-Governor McCrory type voters. Socially moderate, fiscally conservative and somewhat hawkish on the border.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Why are Trumbull and Mahoning Counties voting for a nobody in the Democratic Governor primary?

He is their hometown boy.

[Oryxslayer]

Why are Trumbull and Mahoning Counties voting for a nobody in the Democratic Governor primary?

Not a nobody, he is a popular state sen from around there. We had some OH posters here state there intentions of voting for him.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Overall, it's not that bad. Braun winning sucks, but it was expected. Blankenship winning would've been the dream scenario, but Manchin is favoured against Morrisey I would say.

And the GOP practically handing us NC-09 by nominating a right-wing religious extremist tops it off
