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

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I wonder if Republicans are crossing over to support Samuels. Either way, I expect there's little-to-none of the Somali vote in yet or Omar's lead would be bigger.

W-6 P-3 is in, so that's not true.

[ProgressiveModerate]

Rock County in the MN-01 special claims to be almost all in with Finstad outperforming Trump, If true, it's pretty dreadful turnout though.

FIRST MN-01 RESULTS:

Brad Finstad (R)- 547 (72.7%)
Jeff Ettinger (D)- 200 (26.6%)

[ProgressiveModerate]

Dems actually may have a small chance of beating R turnout in WI based upon the results in so far, which would be quite an upset, especially given the lack of competative primaries on the D side.

[Minnesota Mike]

Holy crap Omar might actually lose... only ahead by 3.6%

These are probably earlies no? If so Omar still a substantial favorite imo

Unless they have changed how they report early vote is not reported separate,  it is added to the precinct vote and then all reported at once.

[It’s so Joever]

Ettinger is Ettingone!

[morgieb]

Is Samuels a normie D or an astroturfing type akin to the CNBC lady that ran against AOC a couple of years back?

[Lief 🗽]

Wow, let’s go, uh, whoever the hell Don Samuels is!

Even a 4% underperformance is actually indicative of an even national environment.

No — this is mostly early vote with much of it from Madison and Milwaukee.

The red wave is still coming, judging by this special election. The Kansas abortion referendum was an anomaly.

He's a formed City Council member who ran for mayor with Republican support. I'd say decidedly moderate but decidedly more serious than AOC's challenger. He did have that infamous drowning incident a couple years ago, where a child died under his care and he tweeted "can't swim but can govern."

[Spectator]

Michels is the very clear winner. Evers’ preferred opponent.

[ProgressiveModerate]

Lol there's less than 1% reported in the special election folks lets not jump to conclusions.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Wow, let’s go, uh, whoever the hell Don Samuels is!

He's a former City Council member and a bit of a washed up hack who was on the right wing of municipal politics, and was involved in an accident where a child drowned under his care. He ran for mayor in 2013 as the most conservative major candidate. He did once speak at my church in a roundtable thing (one of our most notable speakers) so he has that going for him, but my vote for him was quite reluctant.

Omar's up by 3 with over 85% in so she probably has it but considering how weak Samuels was this definitely puts a target on her back in 2024.

Anomaly? My guy it was a statewide referendum on abortion, not a partisan election.

[Nyvin]

Most of Kleefisch's leads are in the Milwaukee-WOW area, I'm thinking once everything else up north comes in she'll go down pretty fast.   She has the harder road to win for sure between her and Michels.

[GALeftist]

THERE IS ONE TINY RURAL COUNTY REPORTING YOU FOOLS. COOL YOUR JETS WITH THE TAKES

Yes, but it seems Democrats have failed to turn the election into a referendum on Dobbs, which is the only way they stand a chance in hell at damage control. I might switch to independent, I'm done with this party.

There is one county in. One of the two counties that Amy Klobuchar lost in 2012.

Of course everyone should know better than to take SnowLabrador seriously but reminder that he's making his claim based only on some partial returns from Rock County, LMAO.

She's already behind with disproportionately results from the SouthEast unless she suprises somewhere in western WI she's cooked.

Haven't you said that before?
