Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

[Hammy]

Florida's gone by the looks of it

[The Free North]

Is Florida really this deplorable?

What an HP state

I still think the Dems hold on here, but if they lose, the Florida Democratic Party has some serious soul searching to do.

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

TX early vote is looking amazingly good for Beto. He actually has a shot to win. He is winning Williamson County, winning Fort Bend by 10.

However, the rurals are normal TX, so I think it is still a narrow Cruz win, UNLESS Beto does better in the election day vote (which is possible).

Regardless, this is amazing and means Dems need to contest TX in 2020. All credit to Beto.

Lol Menendez projected to win by NBC

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

Dems freaking out about Florida need to wait about 30 minutes and chill out.

Wanna bet?

I don't know you. But there's something really intriguing about you.

I do hope you're right about tonight.

[Roronoa D. Law]

This is definitely a realignment.

[Orwell]

Im not feeling bad about Indiana. Large portions of Indy & Fort Wayne and almost all of Gary are yet to be counted

[MillennialModerate]

Florida's gone by the looks of it

[Storr]

Florida's gone by the looks of it

Still only 51% reporting in Broward County.

[SnowLabrador]

I am sick to my stomach right now, watching my country embrace fascism.

[The Undefeatable Debbie Stabenow]

Where are you guys getting results that are far ahead of the NYT results?

[Panda Express]

If Beto wins while Donnelly and Heitkamp lose...

Trump won ND by 40 points and IN by 20 points while only winning Texas by 9

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

Look at that Dallas metro area thumping for congressional Republicans. Nothing out from Cali or Houston yet.

[RINO Tom]

National House exit poll is finally out, has Dems up 10

54.4% to 44.2%

https://www.cnn.com/election/2018/exit-polls

Should be enough to take the House, but it will be through the suburban districts and we may have to wait for CA.

BRUTAL for the GOP.

[GeorgiaModerate]

D's back to 64% for the House in 538's model.

[Orwell]

I am sick to my stomach right now, watching my country embrace fascism.

The other party isnt the enemy my dear boy, the enemy is those who want to see our nation burn. The other party wants our nation to be successful and they're doing what they think will work

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

McCaskill sounds like she is conceding on MSNBC.

[LabourJersey]

Florida's gone by the looks of it

Still only 51% reporting in Broward County.

[7,052,770]

I am sick to my stomach right now, watching my country embrace fascism.

Except that Democrats are on track to take the House and maybe even knock out Ted Cruz

[Roronoa D. Law]

Time to pull out the vodka.

[Green Line]

The % remaining in Florida is misleading.  This happens every single election.  That last couple percentge points never moves the needle.

[Pericles]

538 at 5 in 8 odds for Dems in the House.

[Storebought]

As far as FL goes, it's not good and logical to keep pinning hopes on a massive turnout on a pair -- literally -- of strong D counties, especially if raw turnout among minorities is down.

[The Free North]

D's back to 64% for the House in 538's model.

The freakout of the past 20 minutes has been completely unjustified. Dems are still comfortably on pace to win the house.

[NOVA Green]

EV #s from TX:

Fort Worth County: 49.1% BETO- 50.2% Cruz

Williamson: 51-48 BETO (!!!)

Hays: 57-42 BETO

Bexar County #s: 59-41 BETO

*** Could just be that ED Turnout might be more heavily Working Class Latino, but these numbers are a bit disappointing....

Fort Bend: 55-45 BETO
