Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

About to go vote bright and early in New Jersey. Menendez, even though I don’t particularly like him.

There were already at least 15 people there when I voted around 6:15. We don’t even have any really competitive races on the ballot. I guess maybe it’s the school board drawing the attention.

WTF is actually happening in Broward

God damn, what is it with Florida and elections being run in a hilariously incompetent manner?

My guess is that Florida is no different than any other state.  I think if we were to put a microscope on most of our elections we would see more incompetency than we are comfortable with.  Florida is just always so close that we end up looking at it more closely than others.

Not to get too off topic, but virtually every bizarre news story comes from Florida. There is something in the water down there, and I don’t mean the red tide.

Reading all these posts about how Florida’s ballots work make me thankful I live in New Jersey.

If McSally loses, is Ducey going to appoint her to the other seat?

He already appointed Jon Kyl a couple months ago.

I thought Kyl is going to step down in the senate.

He hasn’t made a final decision except he definitely won’t be seeking the seat in the special election in 2020.
