Am I the only one who thinks that the republican nominee's name totally sounds like it would be an adult entertainment stage name?

I'm just assuming her middle name starts with a "K" too.

Tonight is the Republican Primary for WI-07, and so far Tom Tiffany has a modest lead:

Tiffany won.

WI-07 turnout by primary with 99% in

Republican: 76,056 (65.5%)
Democratic: 40,037 (34.5%)

The Republican one was more heavily contested, but still, that's something that doesn't look great for Democrats.

I mean, it's WI-07.

I'm surprised that there was never a poll for CA-25

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Today's the Jungle for CA-25. Polls close at 11 ET. If no one hits 50%, runoff on May 12.

Is it just me or did House special elections used to happen on a much faster scale? It's unfair to let people go without representation for such a long time.

Reminder that we may not know who moves on/won until April...or we may know tonight.

No calls in CA-25 special

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

With the obvious caveat that votes will continue to be counted until March 18, Dems have to be concerned that in the CA-25 Special Jungle, Rs have received 52.6% to Dems getting 47.4%.

With the obvious caveat that votes will continue to be counted until March 18, Dems have to be concerned that in the CA-25 Special Jungle, Rs have received 52.6% to Dems getting 47.4%.

The caveat is a big one because the assumption is that California Dems held on to their ballots much later than Republicans because of the uncertainty around the presidential primary.

And that we have only about half the votes counted.

And that we know the later ballots are always more democratic than what is counted on e-night.

And that primary turnout does not even influence the GE, if it did, the GOP would still hold all those Clinton CDs in CA after 2018.

Essentially, wulfric is posting in bad faith here. I wouldn't try to claim the Dems getting a majority of the primary vote in TX for instance points to a competitive TX race in November, if I wanted to do that there are far more legitimate data points to use.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

WNN is projecting that Smith (D) and Garcia (R) will move on!


GOP-Dem margin has narrowed a tad but GOP still leads 52.3%-47.7%.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Dems have pulled ahead, 50.5%-49.5%.

Dems have pulled ahead, 50.5%-49.5%.

Counting is finished, margin remains at 50.5% Dem

Something about the CA count, can't remember.

Hopefully, most of the Dems House incumbents keep their seats and Dems net IA 4 and MO 2, like it was supposed to he. JD Scholten didnt run to lose, IA is a swing state again, due to Trump's cratering polls. Neither did the incumbents in IA swing Congressional seats, ran to lose, in 2020, they ran to win.

Ballot return in CA
D's don't panick yet anyway its still super early with GOP skewing ballots, D skewing ballots should come later especially as Newsom didn't ban door to door ballot harvesting.

Smith forced to apologize. Not a good look to apologize, #1rule is always double down, as it can prevent any bleeding, now she actually has to congratulate her opponent.
