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

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Surprised that Pittenger lost.

[Pandaguineapig]

Don't know much about Mark Harris. What has he done that makes him such a poor candidate?

He seems like a very Christian conservative orientated candidate who is to the right of Pittenger but more sane than Mark Walker

[Nyvin]

Looks like Ohio and Indiana are unmitigated disasters for the Dems based on the turnout numbers, especially with Indiana practically ensuring Donnelly is a 1-termer.  

Uhhh...no, not at all.

[IceSpear]

McCready might have already been slightly favored in NC-09 even against Pittenger, but now he certainly is.

[136or142]

Yeah, NC-09 should probably be considered Lean (or at least Tilt) D now. The state party should use this opportunity to expand the map a bit. Lots of energy on the Left across NC right now.

This district was already one of the Democrats top hopes in North Carolina.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I think we can rule out Conrad Lucas at this point.

[Skill and Chance]

Looks like Ohio and Indiana are unmitigated disasters for the Dems based on the turnout numbers, especially with Indiana practically ensuring Donnelly is a 1-termer.  

Uhhh...no, not at all.

I would take it as another modest datapoint confirming a shift to the GOP in both states vs. the Obama era.

[Darthpi – Anti-Florida Activist]

Weird to see Manchin do so poorly in Mingo, but still clearing 70% in almost all of the other coal counties.

What makes Mingo different?

I think Mingo just enjoys being eccentric now. It's like Loving County, Texas.

[ON Progressive]

Looks like Ohio and Indiana are unmitigated disasters for the Dems based on the turnout numbers, especially with Indiana practically ensuring Donnelly is a 1-termer.  

OH and IN literally had zero competitive statewide primaries for the Dems (in fact, Donnelly and Brown weren't even contested!), while IN and OH had decently competitive statewide primaries for the GOP.

[136or142]

Surprised that Pittenger lost.

He only beat Mark Harris by 134 votes in 2016. I gather the 'smart money' though was that Pittenger was in stronger shape this time around.

Don't feed the troll.

This is low-effort even for you, dude. The Senate primaries in Indiana and Ohio were uncontested.

[Alabama_Indy10]

Man, Pittenger is creepy looking.

[136or142]

Predictions for West Virginia 3rd?

What data?

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

How much do you think Donald Trump telling people not to vote for Blankenship on twitter affected the race?

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Overall a pretty decent night for the Dems. They're now favored in NC-09, the GOP didn't nominate their best candidate in West Virginia, the Dems nominated their best for the Ohio governor's race, and they outpaced the GOP in vote totals in a few congressional races.

[136or142]

Unlike West Virginia 3, the Republican won't be competitive in the general election, but in Ohio 11 Greg Dunham has a 6 vote lead over Beverly Goldstein.

They fell way behind in OH-12 though. 31K-52K as of now with Balderson leading by 4 points.

[MAINEiac4434]

Predictions for West Virginia 3rd?

Ojeda.

[136or142]

Melanie Leneghan has been steadily closing on Troy Balderson for a while now (at least in terms of vote percentage) but probably not enough for her to win.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Evan Jenkins probably would win the primary if there was a top 2 runoff.

[Alabama_Indy10]

Predictions for West Virginia 3rd?

Ojeda.

Big Win for Rs tonight -->
