CONGRESSIONAL RESULTS MEGA THREAD

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

The more Seats Republicans get the tougher it gets for Pelosi to enact any meaningful Legislation like for example repealing the Tax Cuts which would be disastrous for the Economy.

Come again? Deficit spending during times of prosperity is what's disastrous for the economy.

You do not raise Taxes in the midst of a Global Pandemic - Period.

The more Seats Republicans can take the more they can force Pelosi and her two cohorts Hoyer & Clyburn to the "Negotiations Table". Ramming everything through the House with only a 223-212 Majority will be more difficult the next two years.

For starters, the "Heros Act", that 3 Trillion $ Spending Bill is never ever going to reach Bidens Desk in its current form. It will be trimmed down just like Obamas Stimulus "Reinvestment Act" was trimmed down in 2009. Collins, Snowe and Specter had tremendous objections of the House Bill when it reached the Senate. It had to be trimmed to $ 787 Billion and then it got passed. No way are Collins and Murkowski or Manchin going to vote for a 3 Trillion $ Spending Bill even if Democrats take the Senate.

Hopefully that's it, because any other dump probably puts Brindisi over the top

[Matty]

There are still votes out in ny22


It’s over for tenney

It's not, several counties have reported at least another few hundred left, and it's unclear what's left in Oneida.

[KaiserDave]

The challenged ballots will bring this to an end. Absolutely glorious.

Ahahahahahh! Take that trends and #analysis!

[Matty]

Wasserman is clueless about ny22

There are still potentially over 2k votes left

It’s over for tenney

Where do you see that?

If that's true, that's the ballgame.

If Brindisi does squeak it out by the skin of his teeth, he will likely have the Libertarian candidate to thank. Also the GOP for somehow failing to recruit anyone better than Tenney. Seriously, Brindisi has been one of the most vulnerable House Dems all cycle, and Trump likely won this district by a decent amount. How the hell did we not get a better candidate?

[KaiserDave]

Roll you would like Richard Hanna the guy before Tenney.

She challenged him in 2014 and lost, but he retired in 2016 and died this year.

Edit: He was awesome. Opposed extending the Patriot Act, supported same-sex marriage, opposed cuts to NPR and supported ERA.

He's claiming that there are still ballots to count in Herkimer, Oswego, a small handful left in Broome (and it's unclear whether the challenged ballots have been counted or not), and an unspecified amount left in Oneida. Unless he's wrong, or these ballots are very different from the late ballots we've seen, Brindisi probably ekes this out.

[KaiserDave]

If there's any vote batches out that total even just a few hundred ballots, it's over.

I doubt this is it.

Less eke, and more wins by 1k. That's if Mr. Rosenblatt is correct.

Yeah, he was pretty great. Basically an old-style moderate Northeast Republican. We could use more of them. That's why I was rooting so hard for people like Tom Kean, Brian Fitzpatrick and of course Phil.

I looked into Tom Kean Sr. He appears to have been an excellent Governor, though I can't say I approve of all his post governorship.

There's little information out there on Kean the younger.

I imagine you would've liked Gibson (the former representative from NY-19, before Faso) as well.

Of course.

[KaiserDave]

I find it very very hard to believe that there are no ballots left in this district.

[Gracile]

Imagine telling people before the election that Democrats would end up more likely to win NY-22 than CA-25 (Brindisi obviously doesn't have this in the bag, but still).

I know right.

Imagine telling people that Rouda and Shalala would lose and Brindisi would win.

Upstate New York curses at and then steps all over our trends.

[Xing]

If people had told me that Rouda, Cisneros, Shalala, and DMP would lose, but Brindisi, Delgado, (Andy) Kim, and Golden would win, I'd probably have asked them why these Congresspeople were sent in a time machine back to 2012...

Yes, but they likely won't show up until a recount is needed. You always hold some in reserve.
