That's an R to D flip in a Trump +10 district.

Also going to be a big stinger for the NH GOP. They dug deep to hold on there.

WMUR is reporting 1000-961 as the result.

Cynthia Neeley will represent most of the city of Flint in the Michigan House.

She is the wife of Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley, who held the seat before he won election as mayor of Flint last November. With more than 70 percent of the votes counted, Neeley led her opponent, republican Adam Ford by a margin of 86 to 8 percent.

These special elections wins, especially in Maine and New Hampshire, show that after a post-2018 slump the Democratic base is again energized and engaged. Let's hope it remains like that till November.

The NHGOP running an absolute lunatic didn't help either. Their candidate was a Free Stater who literally called for NH to secede from the US.

Also comparing LGBT rights to pedophilia and democracy to gang rape. I've seen some nutjob candidates and representatives, and Axelman is one of the craziest.

I doubt it, but let’s hope she gets Young Kim’d

nvm bucks county reported she did win

[ctherainbow]

Let’s hope she gets Young Kim’d

Helen Tai'd would be an even more locally applicable analogy.

A stellar night for the GOP!

Disappointing results in PA, though that one district almost always goes GOP downballot.

Disappointing results in PA, though that one district almost always goes GOP downballot.

Looking at the big drops in Democratic turnout in places like Illinois compared to the primaries last week, it seems to me that Democrats are probably much more risk-averse to turning out during this whole pandemic whereas Republican primary turnout from last week to this week wasn’t much affected

[ctherainbow]

Disappointing results in PA, though that one district almost always goes GOP downballot.

Yeah, District 8 is pretty safely R, and Democrats did not do as well there as they did in 2018.

However, in both of the competitive districts, Democrats improved upon their 2018 margins, in District 18 by 1.1%, and in District 58 by 2.3%.  Both of the counties these districts are located in are on COVID lockdown, and lower turnout elections generally favor the GOP.  However, the COVID risk is disproportionate for the elderly, who are also generally reliable GOP voters, so that probably erased any GOP special election advantage in this low-turnout election.  Overall, while still disappointing that none of the seats flipped, this is still an improvement for Dems.

I thought the name looked familiar... her father is a state senator from Bucks County. That might have helped her a bit.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Hopefully Presidential turnout will send her back to the funeral home... she operates one.
