State Legislature Special Election Megathread v2

[Darthpi – Anti-Florida Activist]

Miami-Dade updated!!!

Fernandez (D) 50.84% 8433
Vargas (R) 46.70% 7747

Dem's are going to win this by a larger margin than the 2016 State House race, it looks like.

[Gass3268]

If Vargas doesn't win, I'll quit Atlas for a week. He's going to win. Not concern-trolling, but Fernandez can't make that deficit up.

And, no, the blue wave is still on. This is just Cuban Republicans being Cuban Republicans.

Finally, why does Osceola only have 4% turnout? Is that a typo?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Vargas (R) has won. Still waiting for election day vote, but Democrats can't make up 900 votes in it. At least a 15 point swing right and a demoralizing and humiliating loss for Democrats.

Well, it looks like someone will be demoralized and humiliated.  But perhaps not the Democrats.

Another LimoLib self own

I'm just realizing now that this is a Dem hold rather then a gain. I thought this was another open Cuban seat like the ones last year.

As of now, Fernandez outperformed every Democrat in recent history here, except Clinton and Nelson.

This is an open seat with a lot of Cubans in fairness, but Cubans aren't quite as overpowering as they are in SD-40.

Bye Felicia. See you in a week

Better than the 2016 result for the state legislature there, at least.

Fernandez was endorsed by Joe Biden a few days ago. In the Trump era, Joe's something like 16 to 1 now

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

True, I would’ve liked to expand Clinton’s margin here, but it shows that indepdents are strongly on our side for November. Plus, look at the Election Day voting: 13-point advantage for Dems. Great news for us in states like PA that don’t have early in-person voting.

Only a very minor swing to the GOP from the Pres race too:

Carlos Curbelo is going to lose!

These Cuban districts are still strongly Republican downballot. These wins by Democrats are nothing to sneeze at.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Carlos Curbelo is going to is probably likelier to lose!

This is not a good sign for Republicans.
