Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

[Comrade Funk]

Dems in Disarray time of the night

[indietraveler]

Does KY, specifically KY-6 report slowly? Definitely watching this one closely.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Wow Amy is doing really well

[Crumpets]

CNN calls Indiana for Braun

Umm... No it hasn't. I'm watching CNN.

[The Free North]

R+191

Big if true.

[Hammy]

Is there any reason CNN isn't showing the % of vote that's in?

[Politician]

C'mon, Joe!

[here2view]

CNN calls Indiana for Braun

Ok, this is epic.

[Horus]

Trump at 52-48 approval in Indiana. Not stellar, but enough for Braun to just scrape by.

[Dr. Arch]

CNN calls Indiana for Braun

Umm... No it hasn't. I'm watching CNN.

They can't even call Indiana, since polls haven't completely closed there.

[J. J.]

Does KY, specifically KY-6 report slowly? Definitely watching this one closely.

There are some early results, which don't mean anything. 

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

My guess is Rs are going to do well in rural areas where Trump did well. That is not exactly a surprise, but might mean bad things for various districts like KS-02, MN-01, etc. The best Dem hope at the moment is going to have to be on the suburbs. And we don't really have anything in from those sorts of areas yet.

[Darthpi – Anti-Florida Activist]

CNN calls Indiana for Braun

Can we preemptively f*** off with this nonsense?

[GeorgiaModerate]

I suggest reporting any posts that are outright disinformation like that one.

[henster]

Trump at 52/48 in IN according to exits.

[indietraveler]

Does NYT not update automatically anymore? Or just not doing it because I'm incognito.

[RINO Tom]

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

How neurotic are people on this forum?

Incredibly, LOL.

Violently agree.

The results will be more polarizing than people expect.

[JA]

I could just imagine what'd happen on Atlas if tonight goes as 2016 did and Republicans overperform expectations, denying Democrats the House and making net gains in the Senate.

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

lol 10 minutes ago Drudge had their Siren at the top of their page, with text reading: "BLUE WAVE BUILDING", which I found very strange as we just barely began.

They have since removed the Siren.

[Sestak]

First call: Rs hold KY-05

[Politician]

First House race called: Hal Rogers wins re-election in KY-5.

[rob in cal]

  If Donnely does in fact go down, one consolation for Dems might be that he was one of three Dems who voted for immigration restriction, so conservative in that respect (Manchin and Heidkamp the others in the Senate vote earlier this year.)

[OSR stands with Israel]

Everyone give their final prediction of IN-Sen and KY-06, before the polls close. I say Braun wins IN, and Republicans hold KY-06, FWIW.

Republicans win both.

[Crumpets]

Here's an interesting election I didn't know was happening: The notorious Kim Davis is currently up by 16 votes in Rowan County.
