GA-SEN 2022 Megathread: Werewolves and Vampires

They'd better have a needle. It's already inexcusable how bad their election interactives (if you can even call them that) have been this cycle. You can't even hover over counties to get detailed results?? I pay $52 a year for this sh*t.

Can't wait til that 51(49 results are called GA is a D state now

I expect there to be a needle like the runoff in 2021. The needle was also excellent that year so hopefully it's good tonight too. It was a little off this year, it kept on thinking Walker was up until very late in the game.

Using the NYT 2022 results site on the phone actually allows you to click on things and is very accessible. Using the site on a computer is a disaster as there’s literally no way to see exact vote totals by county and you can’t hover or even click on counties/swing arrows. My guess is they just were having trouble doing the hover feature when creating the website and basically ran out of time to fix it.

Literally the 2012 NYT result site is more accessible.

I don't really understand why it feels like they reinvent their interface every cycle. Just using the old interface would be great. Of course, they're hardly the only ones, but it's still frustrating.

The fact that it worked on the phone (which is a terrible interface to do data analysis from) but not on a computer browser makes it even worse honestly. Like, this feel less like laziness and more like a deliberate insult to election nerds.

Think of the numbers a Trump rally would have brought in! But this guy, Walker, was very ungrateful and asked him not to come. Sad!

If Walker loses (and if he does worse than in the general), it will be proof that it is because he did not have an in person in-state Trump rally. Rs will see that not supporting Trump and not using his help doesn't work.

If this was a normal Republican then that could be the interpretation, but Walker is one of the disastrous Trump candidates that wouldn't have been the nominee if not for Trump, much like Oz.

Though if Walker ends up winning, it could be seen as evidence that distancing from Trump is the right move.

Just to clarify, the earlier discussion about Warnock potentially being north of 15 points ahead in the early vote, that was what we expect his lead in votes to be, whereas this tweet is referring to the partisan breakdown (and thus Warnock would still presumably be well north of 15 points when factoring in independents), right?

You know Congress wait til after Eday to pass bills that should of been passed on Sept 30th the Ds stalled a WVA pipeline and Rs retaliation stalled the SSM and then after Eday which is helped WARNOCK with female they pass it and in the Summer the Debt Ceiling will be up and likely to include extended tax cuts 20% Corporate taxes and a Border Wall Obama and Biden built 128 m and Trump built 400 m, if SSM would of passed Sean Patrick Murphy would of won and
D of WV pipeline passed it would of helped Ryan because Vance and Don Jr campaign against Biden coal comment

Likely Sinema goes down in a primary and Justice defeats Manchin and leaving Brown, Tester and upset in TX and FL
 as possible outcomes for a Filibuster proof Trifecta , with Feinstein and Gillibrand along with Biden on the ballot max D vote out of CA and NY we only need 5 seats

They did the same thing in 2020 passed a smaller stimulus after Eday and Ds lost 13 H seats, it's called compromising

That would make sense. Warnock won by just above 10 in the EV so he should be above 15 if he overperforms partisan advantage similarly. At November-level ED turnout Walker has to win ED by 20 points to break even.

This race isn't gonna tell us anything about red states in KY Gov or NC Gov but we did win KS GOV, GA is a blue state and so is VA despite it electing an R Gov Tim Kaine is gonna easily win

If Beshear wins Brown stands a chance again Brown and Beshear are Incumbents not like Ryan whom was a challengier and he didn't take on any leadership role they didn't offer it to him in the H where now after Pelosi they Ds are creating more, if Ryan had a Leader role he would of been best off Brown got out of H that's why he won three Times not because he is invincible

They should of created a chair of blue dog coalition for Ryan but Greg Landsman is heir Apparent now to challenge Vance in 28

I get tired of the fact Ds think that Brown is so invincible he wasn't supposed to be at DeWine it came due to Katrina aftermath

If Walker loses, it won't be the end of rightwing athletes.

Steve Largent and JC Watts did well in Oklahoma in the 90s...

Maybe Herschel goes back to TX......

He shouldn't have been the nominee.......
