Man, some people on RRH are not taking this well at all.

The true nuclear takes come from HoneyBee and Krazen's comments on the website:

HoneyBee:

"Threaten not to seat Carper for admitting to beat his wife:

Elections decide seats, not “PR battles” Mark Harris is the elected member of NC-09 and deserves to be seated as such"

"Ah yes, because if we surrender this election, the Dems will bow down and accept every voter fraud claim ever made in the future.

This “strategy” of bowing down and giving the Dems what they want while the Dems never do so to us deserves to be left in the ashes of history with the pre-Trump GOP."

Krazen:

"BS.

I don’t recall Al Franken or Christine Gregoire surrendering. Go eff yourself is an appropriate response given the history."

LMAO. RRH truly is pathetic. They've also cried like babies about Maine's RCV and California's ballot counting.

Allen Thomas was the mayor of Greenville for 6 years, and he's getting major leads in the counties nearby.

On the D side, do you have to get 50+ one to avoid a runoff or is there a 40% threshold?

30% threshold on both sides.

Looks like the "effort" to elect more Republican women to Congress has had a great start!

What's the best place to see results for WI-07 and CA-25?

I don’t know much about CA-25, but I can tell you fir WI-07 that the only correct way to view a Wisconsin election is to scramble through a couple dozen county website tabs.

93% is in and only 178,000 votes. In 2018 it was 322,000 total.

All this is saying is that a special election in the middle of a pandemic is going to have lower turnout than a midterm election that shattered all turnout records, which everyone already knew.
