Special Election megathread (4/30: NY-26)

[Utah Neolib]

Shontel Brown has more local connections, and connections to Fudge. I’m not saying Nina won’t win, but people are seriously discounting Shontel

[Utah Neolib]

The good people of OH-11s congressional district won’t elect a radical socialist like Nina Turner to congress

[Utah Neolib]

Nina Turner is going to lose this, OH-11 doesn’t like Radical Socialists, Nina Turner couldn’t win this primary in 2012 and she can’t win this now

[Utah Neolib]

It really was Turner that nationalized this race by bringing in outside help from the start and I think the recent barrage of attacks against Brown shows that this race is not as safe for Turner as previously thought. They even brought out borderline racist attacks.

The whole "girrllll" line was completely unnecessary.

The only difference is that the groups supporting Brown (namely DMFI's mailers) are flooding the district with blatant lies.

Many of the groups supporting Turner have also been flooding the district with blatant lies

So do you have a citation for any of Turner's mailers or are you just resorting to whataboutery because you know DMFI lied in their mailers?

Nina Turner took Erdogan money as a consultant and Assad money as a candidate.

Honestly, how hard would it have been for Ohio Dems to find a candidate who wasn't either of these two? Turner's better but neither of these candidates are good.

Dear god, is it too late to run Marcia Fudge's mom in this race? Asking for my friends in OH-11...

I would gladly support Marcia Fudge’s mom here

I said this on another thread, but if I lived in Cleveland I'd vote for this guy just because of pure comedic value

And on his Facebook:

As a black man in America I can see the tremendous blessing of being born in the mean, rough streets of Cleveland Ohio where I had to be Clever, smart and industrious.Bold enough to dream big. Although I have had my contemptuous moments I have risen , achieved and ascended to Heights surpassed by mere drive and God's will. I want to thank my mother Belle Lettres AKA Madelynne Alfreda Bell for her love, wisdom and support during my journey. There are so Many of my life experiences from Sports, the Arts, military and civilian achievements, but I have to take this time to thank my 9th grade teacher Joyce Petty at Harry Davis Junior High School in Cleveland's Glenville neighborhood.

There’s controversy over whether or not Celeste Maloy is eligible to be in congress. She was registered in Utah as a Republican (though she lived in Virginia for many years) but was also somehow not eligible to vote. Utah does not have a SoS so the Lieutenant Governor is the chief elections official.

Bruce Hough has collected around 12k signatures, meaning I was wrong about this guy’s chances. He can split the vote and allow Edwards to actually win. Hough actually doesn’t seem particularly Trumpish, but he’s became the favorite of them.

[Utah Neolib]

If Maloy kills it in rural southern UT, she could end up close to Edwards. It might come down to the St. George area.

Piute is the second least populated county in the state. Chill.

Three way tie in Jaub!!!

Celeste Maloy
26 33.3%
Becky Edwards
26 33.3%
Bruce Hough
26 33.3%

Virtually guarantee that's an error.

Why? It’s a tiny county. Just north of it, Toole County, has all three in the thirties.

Nephi which is the only population isn’t in Juan. The rest is almost uninhabited, it’s funny but it’s not an error.

The Utah election site posted the result and then pulled it down.

Tragic

That’s a screenshot I’ll never regret though.
