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

[MT Treasurer]

The first election year I actively followed was 2014, when Republicans like Tom Corbett and Terri Lynn Land were considered awful candidates or outright 'unelectable.' Compared to the people winning GOP primaries nowadays, they’d basically be considered generic Republicans or even strong candidates today.

Terri Lynn Land wasn't really a crazy wack-a-doodle candidate though, she was just a generic R SoS that when pushed to run a real campaign was found to be incompetent.

I know people often tend to overstate the difference between "then" and "now," but it’s just amusing when you consider that botching a press conference and avoiding reporters was all it took for a candidate's campaign to be written off/thought to be imploding and said candidate to underperform the fundamentals of their race by double digits.

It was more of a general observation anyway. I don’t think anyone can seriously argue that people like Rick Berg or Connie Mack would be judged by the same standards today as they were in 2012.

An embarrassing result for Trump.

[Kleine Scheiße]

This race was clearly stolen from Barnette. Just watch
It will play out in the courts

[Darthpi – Anti-Florida Activist]

A bunch of Delaware County just came in and McCormick's lead is back up to nearly 1500 votes.

Gonna be an ugly map.

[Mexican Wolf]

The margins have narrowed slightly, but Little is still over 60% while McGeachin trails far behind at 24%.

The squabbling and recounts will give Fetterman a nice thing to campaign against

Mastriano will declare the GOP Senate Primary invalid and have Barnette seated as US Senator when he's in office in January.

[Sestak]

Delaware drops a majority of its remaining. Nets McCormick less than 1000 votes, lead now 1500. If Bucks remainder is anything like the last batch it's over.

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

Idk if it’s been mentioned but with over 30% in Schraeder is trailing against McLeod-Skinner 60/40

[emailking]

Wow McCormick's really hanging on, lol

[Pink Panther]

So, who called a McCormick victory here, again?

[Nyvin]

Is McCormick actually going to win??

[NOVA Green]

LMAO Schrader  is getting blown out, good riddance!

He probably didn't even know Bend was added to his district.

Still... tons of votes out there...

If I were in the Schrader campaign would be very concerned about the MultCo numbers (Relatively small % of district), but perhaps might be more indicative of the massive number of DEM PRIM voters in NW ClackCo.

Still curious about where the Marion County numbers are coming from...

LinnCo has yet to report, and unless stuff has changed dramatically used to be a bunch of older DINOs in rurals from just a couple GOV elections back.

Schrader won Linn about 55-45 with 64% in,  if that margin is similar to what he gets in his base in Clackamas it probably won't be enough.   What happens in northwest Clackamas is probably key.

Prob is we don't know many TVs are even out there, ESP since OR has gone Cali with acceptance of late ballots bcs of election law changes.

No idea if me and my spouses ballots have been counted yet in LinnCo, since we just dropped it into the mailbox Sunday.

LinnCo numbers look a bit low and suspect later ballots will tend to be more favorable to Skinner.

Obviously we need to start to see much more results from ClackCo before making assumptions.

[Mexican Wolf]

Now I really want to know how those misprinted Lancaster County ballots are going to work out.

[Darthpi – Anti-Florida Activist]

Is McCormick actually going to win??

My bet is that the final margin ends up under 500 votes, I just don't know for whom.

[xavier110]

My hopes:
- Cawthorn barely wins, gets to attend another cocaine orgy
- Carrick Flynn loses
- PA Rep Sen is pure chaos, recount territory, with everyone claiming they won

Two out of three isn’t bad

[Lief 🗽]

The first of the big Delaware dumps has come in and it's a cool +1k for Oz. Looking good.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Ugh Drazen is beating Tiernan. Get ready for another Dem +6 result

[GALeftist]

Ws this evening:

- Fettersweep
- Summer Lee looks to be in a good position
- Jamie McLeod-Skinner preparing to send Schrader to a farm upstate
- Crypto guy BTFOd
- Cawthorn taken out by the deep state
- Mastriano

TBD:

- PA-SEN GOP primary, although I'm at least glad it's in recount territory

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

McCormick is hanging on to those 2,000 votes for dear life

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

Also for a sweep and an uncontested governors race and three congressionals the democrats are spot on for turnout with the republicans

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Alright, another Westmoreland dump.

Lee still holds the advantage by about 400 votes.

This leaves 26 precincts left in Allegheny and only 3 in Westmoreland.

Game, set, and match.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Also for a sweep and an uncontested governors race and three congressionals the democrats are spot on for turnout with the republicans

That's good news for Democrats, right? That means maybe Dem voters aren't too disillusioned to vote this year?

LFG! Lee losing would have been a bleak spot on an otherwise pretty fantastic night for progressives.

I’m not sure where this is coming from, I have R’s receiving like 150k more votes in PA
