2022 Primary Election Night Coverage Megathread (9/13 - GRAND FINALE - DE, NH, RI)

[Roll Roons]

DDHQ says Beaufort finally dropped and Mace won it 52-46. That should be the ballgame.

Nikki Haley campaigned for Nancy Mace A LOT in the last couple of weeks + Nikki lives in her District. That certainly helped Nancy!

Calling SC-1 R for Mace!

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Retracting the call for the Runoff in SC-7 and calling it for Fry.

That's what I get for doing like 3 things at once during part of this. Dropping for 30 push-ups.

[Senator Incitatus]

Did Nevada actually vote today or not?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Also just so y’all don’t get yer knickers in a twist I’ll remind you SC is a 50+1% to win primary state.  

Rice is either going to win or go to a runoff tonight. I’d be shocked if Fry (or anyone else) clears 50% with the crowded field. Arthur has been putting a lot of big ads across Horry so I wouldn’t be shocked if she got 10%.

How'd that work out for you?

Oh well, here's to getting rid of her in 2024!

Did Nevada actually vote today or not?

I presume they did? The NV page on NYT says "LIVE" and indicates polls are closed. Also YE said he voted.

Someone said they won't report results until every person at the polls has voted and left the polls. Basically, we'll be here all day and results will only come in as soon as our heads hit the pillows on the east coast

Did Nevada actually vote today or not?

NV has a Policy that they can't release any Results until everyone has voted & every Polling Place is closed.

[Greedo punched first]

Only 66% reporting for the district with Mark “HUAC” Burns?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

For the geography don't matter anymore people, I find it impossible not to note that low country SC-01 kept Mace as the nominee, while up country SC-07 tossed Rice for a Trumpist primary challenger by a wide margin. Yes, local factors, candidate quality and such forth had an impact for sure, but the demographic and geographic pattern is impossible to not note.

This is the third Southern primary (AL and GA) we have a seen where historic geographic boundaries had a decisive impact on Trumpist support, and fourth primary overall (PA) where such was present in the past month or so.

[Horus]

Only 66% reporting for the district with Mark “HUAC” Burns?

Looks like everything is in now and Timmons is holding on without around 52%. I'm not sure why he even faced a challenge from the right, he's been a Trump bootlicker every step of the way.

[Senator Incitatus]

Nevada results supposedly inbound.

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

So I've been pouring over the numbers actually think the reason Rice might have failed to get a run off comes from Jamal Campbell's challenge to Jackie "Coach" Hayes. DIllon has been trending republican, albeit slowly, for a few cycles, but tonight the democratic primary population heavily outweighed that of the republican.

No one cares about Dillon County but Dillon County. Rep. Hayes has been in since the early 2000s and is wildly popular especially among the college educated class. He's a generic moderate liberal but also the town football coach and has a lot of connections from that and just being a native.

Many of the people that voted to save Hayes from his challenger (myself and most of my direct social circle included) would have potentially or even likely crossed over to vote for Rice. No other race is competitve in a significant way to cause Democrats to vote in the primary unless they are diehards. Had this challenge not happen you could see 1,000 to maybe even 2,500 more votes in the republican primary. It's hard to say how these voters would have voted but they likely would have been more Rice heavy then the county as a whole.

It seems small but it might have been just enough to push Fry under 50% and give Rice a snowballs chance.

And that's why the GOP on a national level needs to do what the Virginia GOP is doing by scrapping primaries and going with conventions. It's how we got Youngkin, it's how we got Hung Cao, it's how we got Bob Good. Convention systems prevent Democrats like you from sabotaging our candidate selections. I don't want Republicans to do that for Democrats so you can hold Primaries and choose your candidates and we can hold Conventions and choose our people properly.

lol most of the people I’m talking about would have voted in the Republican primary instead of the democratic one. But ya know there does exist a thing called closed primaries?

Also Republicans hold just as much power to vote in a D primary if they want. It's called being strategic with your vote.

Also by and large Republican priamries are mostly GOP voters so if they keep electing canidates you see as flawed by a large margin your party might need to look in the mirror.

Conventions imo are just anti-democratic as a whole

Glad to see the faux socialists of the NV Dem party go down in flames.

Looks like Nevada’s electoral votes will be Safe R in 2024.
