Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

[houseonaboat]

Monroe County's hours are extended until 7, Marion County traditionally reports a bit late and Lake County reports very late. So don't make too much of the early hours yet; until the Dem counties come in it'll be hard to tell.

We know that there's high turnout across the board. Question is if Donnelly's high urban/suburban turnout cancels out Braun's performance in the rurals.

I’m going to throw up

Literally 1% reporting in Indiana, calm the heck down, yeesh.

Peak Atlas. Clearly the outcome of the entire night can be called from initial results from a couple of counties.

[The Free North]

This looks like a disaster. Racist hicks win again

Were 22 minutes in, please dont.

[Hammy]

Dems are going to get pummelled tonight, I'm thinking they actually suffer a net loss in the House at this point.

[Politician]

Well I'm leaving now.

[Woody]

This is going to be a good night, I can tell.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Bright side is Amy is doing well

[Zaybay]

My god, dont do this

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

Lol @ early freaking out with less than 5% of the vote in.

Calm yourselves.

Barely anything is in.

[History505]

Folks acting like 90% of the vote is in.

[GeorgiaModerate]

I was about to ask "Has this forum learned nothing about drawing conclusions from early returns?"  But then I realized that you don't need to ask questions you already know the answer to.

[Person Man]

I'm starting to chug my Sangria. People on here insufferable.

[cvparty]

donnelly is losing grant co by 3 points now while his benchmark is around losing by 15

Peak Atlas. Clearly the outcome of the entire night can be called from initial results from a couple of counties.

But this is like, a tradition in Atlas. Don't criticize. It's always fun.

[libertpaulian]

Grant County might be an encouraging sign...Mourdock won by 7% there, and Braun is only up by 3% there.

However, some of us are freaking out because Donnelly was doing better in the rurals last go around than he is now.

How neurotic are people on this forum?

Atlas tradition

[I Can Now Die Happy]

GO BRAUN!

[MillennialModerate]

Very curious to see if the early freak outs are justified or if the patient ones will prevail.

Then again I think I’ve always staked my flag in that battle

[J. J.]

From what I can tell so far, and it's very early, but Braun seems to be improving on Mourdock's 2012 performance.

Bingo.

I want to see the turnout in Lake.
