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

[Minnesota Mike]

Texas is fairly quick at counting votes, right?

Majority of the vote is early votes and that usually drops quick. If a race is real close though it takes a while to count election day votes.

Bexar county results

https://home.bexar.org/el45a.html

 Cisneros is getting 72% of the vote in TX28 in the county.

[Minnesota Mike]

 I think Cuellar is going to come in first in TX28 but it probably goes to a runoff. He trails by about 4% but nothing in yet from Starr or Zapata counties where he should put up big margins.

[Minnesota Mike]

Cuellar is down by 4 with 44.5% in. This will likely be close, but I expect that he loses to Jessica Cisneros

Nothing in yet from Starr or Zapata, Cuellar should do very well there. Probably goes to a runoff, if not is a Cuellar win.

[Minnesota Mike]

Is it just me or is 6:00 local time absurdly early to close the polls?

[Minnesota Mike]

I wonder with his late momentum if Dolan improves with election day votes. I assume most of what we have so far is the early vote.

[Minnesota Mike]

LOL. Brown over Turner 70-30.

[Minnesota Mike]

Holy moly

Ryan brune, an Ohio expert, is on Twitter right now saying Dolan has a good chance at this thing

My guess as well. I would bet the election day vote breaks Dolan.

[Minnesota Mike]

Yeah this is over. I still expect Dolan to close a little but it's over. The good news is Vance looks like a weak GE candidate.

[Minnesota Mike]

Firebrand populist JR Majewski (who Trump shouted out at a recent rally) has overtaken Gavarone in OH-09.

Isn't he the some dude who is most famous for painting his lawn as a giant Trump sign?

[Minnesota Mike]

I know there’s more reported on the R side than on the D side, but the fact that Vance has almost the exact same number of votes as Ryan right now just couldn’t be a more striking testimony to the dire state of OH Democrats. The D/R vote total difference in IN is also just brutal for Democrats.

TBF there was nothing competitive for Democrats statewide in either state.

[Minnesota Mike]

A lot of Gavarone's best counties are already in. Majewski has a real path to victory.

Majewski would almost certainly lose to Kaptur while Gavarone would win. Why can't you accept that? Majewski is just a massive bully.

Hey, we finally agree about something

[Minnesota Mike]

 Majewski's lead up to 4.2% with 64% in. Riedel only 0.9% behind Gavarone.

[Minnesota Mike]

Majewski carried Sandusky county. It's over.

This lunatic is going to be a congressman

I know I sound like a broken record but do really think he beats Kaptur?  I know midterm, red wave yada yada yada but a nutcase like this beating a 20 term incumbent? Trump only carried the new district by 3. Brown won by 17. Heck Cordray won it by 4.

[Minnesota Mike]

NE-02: Most interested in partisan turnout here. Bacon has narrowly held on in both 2018 (2%) and 2020 (4.6%). D's narrowly outvoted R's in 2018, while R's narrowly outvoted D's in 2020. The district is slightly more Republican now, but Biden still won it by 6.3%.

I would expect Republicans to have the greater turnout in NE-02 tonight. Much more competitive races at the top of the GOP ticket and and the Dem race in NE-02 will not be as competitive as 2018, 2020.

[Minnesota Mike]

KY-03 (D) early results, McGarvey up 2-1 with about 6,100 votes in.

[Minnesota Mike]

Cawthorn leads with 34-30

[Minnesota Mike]

Edwards now up 37-27

[Minnesota Mike]

What we are seeing right now is early votes. On NC board of election no election day votes are counted yet.

NC Board of election website is ahead of everything else.

https://er.ncsbe.gov/?election_dt=05/17/2022&county_id=0&office=FED&contest=0

To steal a line I have seen enough, Chuck Edwards has won NC-11 (R).

[Minnesota Mike]

Madison made a huge mistake when he wore that bra.

Bigger mistake was pissing off the North Carolina Republican establishment.

[Minnesota Mike]

Did you all learn nothing from 2020? PA-Sen is not going to be close to over tonight. There are 10's of thousands of absentees that will be counted over the next few days. Then we are probably in recount territory. If you have something to do tomorrow go to bed you won't miss anything.

[Minnesota Mike]

Barring a miracle Kurt Schrader's dead. Let his body be a lesson to Kyrsten Sinema on what happens to Democrats when they are much more conservative than their state/district.

[Minnesota Mike]

Meanwhile in Oregon Q-Anon poster girl Jo Rae Perkins is leading for an encore of her 2020 drubbing for the Senate.

[Minnesota Mike]

Bad week for crypto dude.
