Official 2022 Congressional Election Results Thread

Gonna be so much drama in the speakership election that it probably isn’t even desirable to be in the paper thin majority.

Has ever there been a chalice so poisoned?

[wbrocks67]

So Archer's tweet of 169K left in AZ seems to include the provisionals (15K) and cures (11K), so in reality there's even less likely left.

143K sure fire votes to come, essentially, with 26K between provisionals and cures tentative.

That would raise Lake's # even more to get in the rest. Also seems likely that the Maricopa batch tonight would be closer to ~78k tonight, since that is the # without provisionals and cures

That’s the fun in it.

Has anyone noticed that as of now, Maricopa county is to the left of Clark County, NV in the Senate races? If that doesn’t say something about the trends I don’t know what does. Clark may be the result of Dem apathy in off years, but Maricopa really stands out.

That's a fun point, but TBF Kelly will win his race by much more than CCM.  Relative to the state's overall result, I'm sure Maricopa will end up to the right of Clark.

That's the funniest thing anyone has ever done. Ultimate troll move from Lawler.

Are we still getting a Pima dump today?

LMAO, so McCarthy clearly does not have the votes

Sources: McCarthy is beside himself. Driving around downtown Laredo begging (thru texts) Cuellar's family for address to Henry's home.

I think that’s more a reflection on the longer term trends of the respective states though. Democrats look poised to do much better in the row offices (including Governor) in Arizona vice Nevada, going with only 1 to 3 losses (depending on how AG and Superintendent shake out) versus 3 in Nevada. That to me signals that Arizona on the statewide level is taking on a blue hue, particularly if Dems win that Attorney General race. For what it’s worth, I’m already counting a Hobbs victory into the calculus.

That’s not to discount Dems’ victories in Nevada, which were impressive. Aaron Ford’s in particular is a remarkable turnaround from where it was four years ago. Who would’ve guessed he’d win Carson City this year?

I wonder if Cuellar himself could be a decent compromise candidate for Speaker if the House is as closely-divided as it’s probably going to be.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Early-period Taylor Swift blasting, a pint of Phish Food waiting for him at home...or was that me after the bikini model I matched with on OKCupid unironically used the term "Bidenflation" when floating first date ideas?

Not a surprise. Cuellar has always been a Democratic footsoldier - IIRC he's a part of the whip team.

Yeah all this talk about guys like Manchin and Cuellar switching parties was always a conservative fantasy.

They're assholes - but they're our assholes.

Well, if McCarthy doesn't get the speakership then who does? It's hard to think of anyone in the caucus who has both the necessary experience to do the job and the appeal to unite all of the factions within the House GOP... Scalise, maybe?

I can't see anyone other than Scalise.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Why would he do so and we can win back the H in 24, based on NY 17/19/22 Biden is gonna win NY by 20

[It’s so Joever]

Why not Young Kim? She represents a swing district but greatly overperformed, she is a female minority, and she has appeal to both moderates as shown by elections and homophobes.

[John Dule]

Can we maybe start citing sources other than Twitter blue checks for major news developments?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Just like some think Colin Already is gonna give up his seniority in H which the Ds are gonna win back in 24 anyways to run against Cruz we need to recruit DEMINGS or Graham against Scott they don't have a Congressional job

Or last resort Stephanie Murphy FL is still a battlegrounds

Yeah, I've been saying it's better for us to end up at 218 D than 218 R. It would be total chaos either way, with changes in speakership every time someone retires or dies, hundreds of millions thrown into random special elections, and absolutely nothing getting done because good luck getting Cuellar and Cori Bush or Fitzpatrick and MTG to agree on anything, along with everyone else in between. Whoever is in charge will own the chaos.
